Virgilio Elizondo
Virgilio Elizondo is a Mexican American, Roman Catholic priest who divides his time between his parish in San Antonio, Texas, and teaching at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana. He is a major theologian in liberation theology and Hispanic theology.〔Rossing, John P. "''Mestizaje'' and Marginality: A Hispanic American Theology." ''Theology Today'' 45.3 (1988): 293-304. Online at ()〕 He has been named by Time Magazine as one of our most innovative spiritual leaders.〔("If Jesus Had Been Born in San Antonio" at Time.com )〕 He is well known for his book, ''Galilean Journey: The Mexican-American Promise,'' which examines the similarities between Jesus' Galilean background and the mestizo experience. He was designated as the co-recipient of the 2007 Community of Christ International Peace Award along with Dolores Huerta.〔(Community of Christ International Peace Award, Two Recipients Share This Year's Award ), webpage, retrieved August 3, 2007〕 In 1997, he was awarded the Laetare Medal, the University of Notre Dame's highest honor.〔()〕
== Theology ==
Much of Elizondo's theology focuses on the theological significance of the mestizo/a and the process of mestizaje, which he defines as a mixing of two or more groups of people, biologically, culturally, and/or religiously. He is most interested in the position of Mexican-Americans, whom he regards as the product of a double process of mestizaje, the first being the biological, cultural, and religious mixing that created the Mexican people and the second being the primarily cultural mixing between Mexicans and Anglos in the U.S. Southwest. This second mixing occurred originally through U.S. expansion and conquest of formerly Mexican territory and has continued through Mexican immigration to the U.S. Elizondo believes that the position of the mestizo/a puts him/her in a unique position as both insider and outsider. From this unique position, the mestizo/a has the potential to help bring about a new, united humanity. Elizondo writes, "With each new mestizaje, some racio-cultural frontiers that divide humankind are razed and a new unity is formed."〔Elizondo, Virgilio. Galilean Journey: The Mexican-American Promise. Revised and expanded edition. (Maryknoll, NY: Orbis Books, 2000), 91.〕 Elizondo is also interested in the Virgin of Guadalupe as symbol of the Mexican people and therefore as a product of the process of mestizaje.
