Christians for Socialism

Christians for Socialism (Spanish: Cristianos por el socialismo; CpS) is a worldwide political and cultural movement focused on social inequality and economic injustice,^[1] inspired by liberation theology.^[2] The movement was founded in 1971 and was active in Chile until 1973. The movement was widely supported in Chile by those who supported Allende's government, as Allende offered to work with the Church in setting up his Socialist structure.^[3] The movement disbanded following the 1973 military coup in which Allende's government was overthrown.
