Man is, indeed, as Aristotle says, a “political being”, but he cannot be reduced to politics and economics. I see the real and most profound problem with the liberation theologies in their effective omission of the idea of God, which, of course, also changed the figure of Christ fundamentally (as we have indicated). Not as though God had been denied—not on your life! He simply was not needed in regard to the “reality” that mankind had to deal with. God had nothing to do.
