Conclusion
I am all too aware that there is little about my personal life-style or my background as a theologian which authorises me to be a spokesperson for the Theology of Liberation. In particular, I fall well short of the ideal of the organic intellectual that such a form of theology envisages. Nevertheless, I have attempted in all humility to suggest a number of ways in which the complementarity and synergy between Catholic Social Teaching and Liberation Theology may be explored. This is less a matter of listing the points at which they agree or diverge; rather, it is to propose that certain contemporary philosophical and economic discourses offer an opportunity for both CST and Liberation Theology, for different reasons seen as marginal discourses, to be brought in from the cold.
