Una Propuesta de Evangelización para la Iglesia Latinoamericana

Abstract

The following work focuses on the category of the option for the poor developed mainly in the 60's. is a Christian approach developed from Latin American Catholicism more directly by the priest Gustavo Gutiérrez one of the founders of liberation theology. It is a thought that is based on the figure of the poor in general, mainly from the economic point of view, Medellín, where this category is developed, must be seen as a yes to what was promulgated in Vatican II, a church that responds to the signs of the times, what is sought with this is a very responsible analysis of the category, its process, history and its present day. For this, it was necessary to address authors such as Leonardo Boff, Gustavo Gutiérrez, Jorge Pixley, Jon Sobrino, etc. the documents of the Latin American episcopal conferences (CELAM), the thought of Francis such as the evangelii Gaudim and the encyclical Laudato si and mainly the biblical data that is where the need to accompany the poor is based and who is also very important in the ecclesio-social field. This is the main bibliography to develop this work. Concepts such as Francisco's throwaway culture and Zygmunt Baumann's Adiaphorization are of the utmost importance in order to understand why the desire to care for the poor is increasingly disintegrating and is often reduced to assistance.
