Paulo Freire (1921--1997) is well known around the world for his innovative educational philosophy, which has led many to consider him the "father" of both critical pedagogy and popular education.

Freire's spirituality was rooted in the conviction that God calls all people of goodwill to work toward fulfilling the vision of a new humanity given by God.
