Pedro Casaldáliga

In this book, Juan Jose Tamayo invites us to a fascinating walk through the life of Pedro Casaldaliga. For our protagonist, it’s the "journey of the people towards liberation". "Walk with", not lead, or star, or substitute. The leading role in his liberation belongs to the people. Pedro was very clear about it. That is why he always presented himself as a companion. The author shows us how Father Casaldaliga put into practice, in its literal sense and in an exemplary way, the verse of the Cuban poet Jose Marti "with the poor of the earth I want my luck to cast." And he did so radically and in all dimensions of his life: as an authentic believer, bishop at the service of the people, social activist, liberation theologian, down-to-earth mystic, poet and prophet who denounced injustices and announced the utopia of liberation.
