The Grandfather Of Liberation Theology

George Tyrrell

Described as a man of 'religious genius', his views became increasingly radical and in the context of the 'Modernist Movement' he was dismissed from the Society in 1906 and deprived of the Sacraments (in effect excommunicated from the Church) in 1907, following his public dissent from the teaching of the papal encyclical condemning Modernism, Pascendi. Two years later, he was refused Catholic burial since he had given no public indication of the recantation of his views. Link (here)
