In more recent years, both Gustavo Gutierrez in Peru, one of the founders of liberation theology, and LeonardoBoff, the outspoken Franciscan priest from Brazil have fallen foul of Rome.
Respected Brazilian theologian LeonardoBoff said Thursday he did not believe that Pope Francis, acting in his capacity then as Jesuit provincial, could be implicated in connection to the acts of the Argentine junta, and that he in fact assisted some of the junta's intended victims.
