Pope Francis does not support Maoist versions of liberation theology.
 Leaning more on the example of the Soviet Union, which involved the silencing and subjugation of adversarial political forces to help bring about a cultural change, Mao called for his followers to speak openly and critically about revisionist forces that they were observing in society and to expel them, assuring them that their actions would be endorsed by the party and that their efforts would in now way be interfered with
 This ideology is often referred to as MarxismLeninismMaoism to distinguish it from the original ideas of Mao
