Actually, the distortion of Christianity goes back to the beginning of it. 

The writers would do well to take a substantial course in the History of the Church.

The early 1900s saw a "social justice" distortion of Christianity, around "Catholic Action".  These folks got all lathered up over social matters and forgot that importance of the Sacraments and the interior life.   

So this article is another in a set of lightweight articles (itself) attempting to politicize Christianity. It's guilty of its awkward complaint!

We need the writers to do more homework before they write such gross distortions of history.  Fake news.
