Sin

• Structural Sin

  the ultimate form of alienation because every member of society is alienated
• Original Sin

  humans are corrupted and need to break away from it as much as possible
• Latin American Bishops on Structural Sin (1979)

  • the Church needs to challenge social sin as much as individual sins
  • The Church must not mirror the oppressive bourgeoise and should let the people have a say in its decisions
  • the Church needs to re-find itself as a community, not as an institution
