A difficult hour with a guest who radiates benevolence but whose mode of
expression gives no hint that he is a student of literature and a former professor of patrology and didactics. One sample, on liberation theology: WFB: "Now, a theology of liberation would seek to liberate man from those fetters that are unnecessary to the fulfillment of his dignity and the exercise of his freedom. Is that correct?" PEA: "You see, that's a complicated thing you are saying and we are more simple than this. We see the people suffering in their material necessities and their cultural and their social and also their religious needs, and when they are suffering they must go out of this suffering by their means and also by the aid of the government and help people prepare to help the people, but not against the people. You cannot help them and not also being abstract, but you must go with the people and see what are their strengths."
