As a developed theological principle it was first articulated by Fr. Gustavo Gutierrez, O.P. in his landmark theological book, A Theology of Liberation, the principle is rooted in both the Old and New Testaments and claims that a preferential concern for the physical and spiritual welfare of the poor is an essential element of the Gospel. This principle was articulated by the Catholic Bishops of Latin America at both Medellin and Puebla, as well as by several popes, particularly Pope John Paul II.

abstract
  • As a developed theological principle it was first articulated by Fr. Gustavo Gutierrez, O.P. in his landmark theological book, A Theology of Liberation, the principle is rooted in both the Old and New Testaments and claims that a preferential concern for the physical and spiritual welfare of the poor is an essential element of the Gospel. This principle was articulated by the Catholic Bishops of Latin America at both Medellin and Puebla, as well as by several popes, particularly Pope John Paul II. The Church's option for the poor is usually combined with other Christian principles such as render unto Caesar, chastity and the right to life. This has sometimes led to controversy, since the Church also rejects liberalism, communism, socialism, abortion, sterilization and contraception, positions which are defended by many secular advocates for the poor.
