I agree and that “liberation” comment sounds Marxist. I want to ask him just what it is he needs to be “liberated” from?
I can’t know about this guy, but I think a lot of people want to be liberated from the idea that they are weak and imperfect, and that it’s good to work on being better.
St. John of the Cross said something like ‘It’s easier to go into battle than to see ourselves as we truly are’.
