    Honestly, the main thing that radicalized me was experiencing "having a job" and all the bullshit associated with it.

    And then I read Simone Weil's The need for root, and Žižek's Trouble in Paradise, and it clicked in my head.

      Weil is great for switching Catholics from Trad or Moderate to Lib Theo.

      Jesus the Liberator by Sobrino is also a great work.

        Interestingly, I am an atheist, and yet she is one of the writers who moved me the most and I admire her completely. She has "something", and combined with the fact that she was essentially the closest thing to real saint really gives her a lot of credit in my eyes.

        If anyone needs any radical Christian theory with a specific emphasis on Catholicism then I have a whole book shelf of it to recommend. Definitely second Sobrino.
