Jon Sobrino and the Vatican judgment

Andrew Hamilton 10-Sep-2007
It is too early to explore the justice of the Vatican criticism of Jon Sobrino’s theology. But such judgments also affect human lives. So it may be useful to set this event in the context of the relationship between the Basque born theologian and the El Salvador to which he has committed his working life.

Sobrino under attack from Rome responds

Jon Sobrino noted Latin American theologian had been threatened by Rome.

“We’re dealing with a delicate subject,” Sobrino writes: “When a Christology is not only conceptually correct, but also Christian and existentially pastoral. In these days, many have wanted to thank those believers and theologians who have helped them discover Jesus as Good News. In that, they don’t see any danger.”

Sobrino then warns against some “demons of our time,” including:
• Docetism: “To live in surreality, to live in abundance and pomp while the world starves;
• Gnosticism: “To look for salvation in esoteric things, and not in discipleship of Jesus;
• A “light” faith and liturgy, “when what reality demands of us is a strong faith.”

Church of the poor?

Jose Comblin writes in Reflections on the Notification sent to Jon Sobrino:

“No longer we talk of the church of the poor but rather the church that helps the poor.”

“All the communities mentioned in the New Testament were a church of the poor. Until Constantine, the church was of the poor even though there might have been some rich in the midst of the poor-tone was set by the poor people.”
