There are profound ties between evangelization
and human advancement; however, it would be wrong to reduce the freedom
promoted by the Church to purely temporal dimensions. The liberation proclaimed
by evangelization must aim at the whole man, and it cannot substitute the
announcement of the kingdom for the proclamation of human freedom. It is
important and urgent to build more humane structures, but all this would serve little if
there is not conversion of heart. Moreover, the Church cannot accept a
liberation that comes from violence. (The Revolution of the Samaritans)
