A Critique of the Political-Theological Vision and Strategy of the Industrial Areas Foundation" It is a very interesting critique of the IAF. Mr. Mansueto was the Director for Peace and Justice for the Diocese of Dallas between 1988 and 1991 and was involved with IAF organizing. While I'm sure we are at odds with Mr. Mansueto on most things, he gives interesting insights into the IAF.
