Very good! One of the things that led to the weakening of the sense of sin (and the possibility of repentance and redemption) was the bizarre insistance on collective or "intstitutional" sin after Vatican II. This was a leftist-inspired idea that saw sin in terms of "bad institutional structures" (probably meaning capitalism) and "individualism" (also probably meaning capitalism) and completely removed the individual and his behavior from the question.
That's precisely why the Church lost control over the moral guidance of the flock and in fact why Christian morality in general took a big hit in the 1960s and thereafter. Christianity has always been based on the response of the individual to the Lord; but why bother, if the whole thing is just a structural social failure where individual acts really don't matter at all?
I would like to see the Pope address this current of thinking in the Church itself, because while it has faded away to some extent, it has never been seriously confronted by orthodox Catholic theologians themselves. And unfortunately, I think it's actually spreading in some of the newly Christianized areas, such as Africa.
I also think it's what was behind that silly "Council on Peace and Justice" white paper last week.
