"Let it be very clear, then, that when the church preaches social justice, equality, and human dignity; when the church defends those who suffer poverty or violence, this is not subversive nor is it Marxism. This is the authentic magisterium of the church.

From Mr. Muller's own "about the author" blurb:

Helgard Muller grew up amidst the majestic scenery surrounding a small town called Louis Trichardt, at the foothills of the Soutpansberg Mountains in the Transvaal province of South Africa. As a young boy, he loved the Apartheid era South Africa, and while growing up was fascinated with the bible. Those were the days, my friend; we thought they would never end. In his lifetime, since early childhood, he has and researched numerous Bibles literally into shreds

Wait, literally to shreds? Did he eat bibles thinking it was research?

If so, were they hardcover?
