One of the results of the widespread secularization of our world has been the tendency to clumsily band all Christian ideologies into a single rubric of Christianity. Challenging this propensity, I argue that Catholicism has much to offer to an epistemology of the south, not least because of its historical location in the global south, and the way secular liberalism has located it as the enemy, but also the way in which it fractures secular liberal imaginaries.
