Spiritual militancy

Good morning, happy Thursday and blessings. 

Now, it seems necessary to clarify that the Christian aspect of American neoliberalism is a theological abomination that seriously contradicts the foundations of true Christianity where from the beginning that People-Church was characterized by the experience in unity, having everything in common and distribution of the goods according to the needs as described in Acts 2: 44-45. That is why I have never had doubts in declaring that every true project in which our Goddess is involved must necessarily be anti-capitalist. Otherwise it is pure chameleon theology that seeks fever in the sheet. Hence also the need for a spiritual militancy.

That spiritual militancy must be radical and it must be characterized by an experience of solidarity empowerment that seeks on the one hand the awakening of critical and class consciousness, so that we can understand our social, sexual, gender, racial, ethnic realities , political, economic, historical, religious and class, without having to resort to magical answers that alienate us from our responsibilities. That is, God did not create this disorder, therefore, it is up to us to fix it!

On the other hand, this militancy of a radical spirituality must also have the capacity to subvert the disorder that currently exists, and make us partakers of a power that leads us to the organization that seeks to leave as a result the socio-political organization of our communities to achieve the transformation of oppressive circumstances into experiences of liberation.

I would like to conclude this reflection with a thought by Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. that is not mentioned much here in the United States. He told us - and keeps telling us - that a movement that only has the ability to get people out on the street is a revolt. But, on the contrary, a movement that has the capacity to change both people and institutions is a revolution. We are not for reformisms or socio-political patches. This is a revolution of the people, let's continue resisting with our spiritual militancy. The promise Jesus gave us is still alive: but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you; Acts 1: 8
