Most of his Western supporters have viewed him as a revolutionary Marxist or a secular humanist. Leopando illustrates how Catholic theology shaped central areas of his pedagogy such as the teacher-student relationship, the purpose of education, and the “ontological vocation” of all persons for “humanization” and historical agency. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the recent election of a Latin American Pope who vigorously proclaims a gospel of social justice, Freire's radically democratic view of education as a force for political transformation and human dignity remains profoundly relevant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eIrwin Leopando\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor of English at LaGuardia Community College, City University of New York, US.
