Oh hell no. It's about converting hearts. The structures will follow.
And if anyone can find specifics from the church concerning "the desired structural changes" mentioned here, I'll eat your zucchetto:
>"There will be no peace on earth while the oppression of peoples,
>injustices and economic imbalances, which still exist, endure." He
>insisted that changes in structures, economic and otherwise, must
>come from conversion of hearts: "But for the desired structural
>changes to take place, external initiatives and interventions are
>not enough; what is needed above all is a joint conversion of hearts to love."
