Centre to liberation theology is the understanding that sin is not a metaphysical reality but rather consists in injustices that are perpetuated by people. Therefore, contemplation is at heart of liberation theology, not only by identifying injustice in society, but also by suggesting solutions that enable people to end it. Being homosexual and having a homosexual relationship is not a sin, but the injustice imposed on homosexual persons, that is sin.
