I beg you, look for the words 'social justice' or 'economic justice' on your church Web site. If you find it, run as fast as you can. Social justice and economic justice, they are code words.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's always the tendency to transform the Church into an ethical agency, and of measuring the Church by the yardstick of social and cultural utility.
Next to religion, let your care be to promote justice.
In this context, the church supports and favors every effort today to seek the full development of the personality of all human beings, and to promote their fundamental rights, their dignity and liberty.
A society that has more justice is a society that needs less charity.
It is the task of theologians to establish the limits of justice and injustice regarding the intrinsic goodness or wickedness of an act; it is the task of the observer of public life to establish the relationships of political justice and injustice, that is, of what is useful or harmful to society.
Defend the church. Defend the family. Defend the non-profit community. Defend them against a government that wants to weaken them.
God is truly on the side of those who work for social justice, especially when we accompany that work with the giving of the Gospel!
If you have a priest that is pushing social justice, go find another parish. Go alert your bishop.
Since the Church is to be servant to the poor, it is our fault if that wealth is not channeled to help the poor in our world.
A servant church must have as its priority solidarity with the poor.
