...earlier document but knits its warning about false, atheistic schemes into a positive discussion of human liberation as the work of God.

...cleansed the atmosphere before publication of the document," said Boff, who teaches at a seminary in Petropolis. He believes that the lifting of sanctions demonstrated a new Vatican attitude of openness and "confidence in the (Brazilian) bishops," two-thirds of whom side with some form of liberation theology. Nonetheless, Rome's action has not eliminated the rift between Boff and conservatives in the hierarchy.

Drucker's article is an attempt to capture a number of fundamental changes that in his view have altered the global economy and created some startling paradoxes.
