The president of the Bishops’ Conference of Spain, Bishop Ricardo Blazquez, has called on liberation theologian Jon Sobrino to “rethink what he has been told through the Holy See,” and emphasized that “it is much better to humbly walk in unity and harmony of faith than to be isolated in the sublime.”
Bishop Blaquez comments came as the Jesuit theologian is expected to travel to Bilbao in the coming days. “If he wants, my house and my friendliness are always available.”
In March of this year, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith published a notification in which it pointed out that some of Sobrino’s theological propositions are not in conformity with the doctrine of the Church, calling them “erroneous and dangerous” and “possible harmful to the faithful.”
