Or do we follow the lead of Christians like Oscar Romero, a Jesuit priest in El Salvador, who wrote, “Not having land is a consequence of sin. . . . The land contains much of God, and therefore it groans when the unjust monopolize it and leave no space for others.”4 His faith led him to listen to those who did not have access to land, and his faith led him to see it as sinful that some monopolized what God so freely gave—and called it good.
