WaPo Faith Section: ‘Christmas Means the Redistribution of Wealth’ (News busters)
The Washington Post On Faith section came to Christmas with a political

divisions and a concentration of wealth worse than under the Roman Empire.”

claptrap about “society’s structural sin” as if it was implicit in the New
Testament:
The concept of **society’s structural sin** that is suggested in Pauline
teaching was crystallized in the theology of liberation when it appeared among
Latin American theologians after the II Vatican Council. Based on a socio-
