Naughty, naughty priest!

The Catholic Church turns a blind eye to pedophiles, but brings the boom down on the real sinners: liberation theologians. From the Los Angeles Times:

Vatican to punish priest, sources say

The inquiry into Sobrino has apparently been pushed along by the Archbishop of San Salvador, Fernando Saenz Lacalle, who was formerly the apostolic minister to the Salvadoran military, the folks who murdered Oscar Romero in 1980 and six of Sobrino's fellow Jesuit priests in 1989. The article also mentions that Saenz is a member of the conservative religious organization Opus Dei, which anyone familiar with the Da Vinci Code should recognize.

Seems the new pope has a personal interest in this as well:

The order against Sobrino will be issued by the Vatican's watchdog arm, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, and will carry the approval of Pope Benedict XVI who, as Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, led efforts to stamp out liberation theology.

The inquiry was initiated while Ratzinger was still the head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.

Supposedly, the problem is Sobrino's conception of the divinity of Jesus. According to Saenz: "The divinity of Jesus Christ, that he is truly the son of God made into man, is a fundamental point of our faith.... [Sobrino] is aware of [Jesus'] humanity but not his divinity, so he is not Catholic." This sort of thing is just repugnant to me. To my nondoctrinal mind, it seems supremely stupid. People are starving, being oppressed and murdered. Here is a priest who selflessly and courageously fought this oppression. Who gives a rats ass about his "awareness" of the divinity / humanity of Jesus? What does that even mean, "is aware of"? Sounds like doublespeak to me.
