The true meaning of Christmas is the gift of helping others and being part of a community, not the “extreme individualism’’ and pursuit of material satisfaction that permeates our culture, Cardinal Sean O’Malley said in his annual Christmas message.
In a nearly four-minute audio message, the leader of Boston’s Roman Catholic Archdiocese cited the author Ayn Rand as an example of the “poison” elements of our culture “whose only antidote is community and solidarity.”
O’Malley’s address drew on the lyrics of Christmas carols, principally “O Holy Night’’ and its description of a weary world pining for a better future, a world without darkness.http://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2015/12/24/christmas-address-malley-condemns-ayn-rand-extreme-individualism/U7oQalZTWZnmEU0eRDjtIO/story.html
