13 -------------------------------------------------------------------- People : ---------------------------------- Author : Padre Arias (Manuel Arias Montes) : Teaching Rebellion Text : ---------------------------------- Within the Catholic Church there have been two well-known competing visions. The first views society and its relationship to its adherents through a hierarchical, top-down approach. The second positions itself as an ally of the disempowered, working with them to achieve social change from the bottom up. In the middle are those who are motivated by fear or self-interest, and serve as a cushion between these two poles. I have worked with total conviction to always take the side of the people from below: the simple and humble people, the indigenous people, who in the state of Oaxaca are the poorest of the poor.
