You did better than me,
Frances! I got two sentences in and wanted to puke. I know "due" is used in prior bulls and Church docs, but it's very different.
1928. Society ensures social justice when it provides the conditions that allow associations or individuals to obtain what is [/b]their due[/b]
Huh? ....Is there a HINT of treasure in Heaven in Wojtyla's social justice crap? I take it he didn't believe in the afterlife?
I pushed on...
1929. Social justice can be obtained only in respecting the transcendent dignity of man. The person represents the ultimate end of society
No, no, no. NO! Road to Hell in this! This CCC is twisting
Rerum Novarium to it's breaking point because in RN, society is defined a hellava lot differently:
12. Hence we have the family, the "society" of a man's house - a society very small, one must admit, but none the less a true society, and one older than any State. Consequently, it has rights and duties peculiar to itself which are quite independent of the State. "
Not to mention how SLAMMED socialism was made in RN. In speaking of a man's "due" for his labor, Pope Leo III was all "pay people what you owe them" — an ancient and Scriptural concept! He was also CLEARLY anti-usury. Sort of a DUH but it's had to be spelled out before (which Leo III also says). And that Pope made CLEAR: "4. To remedy these wrongs the socialists, working on the poor man's envy of the rich, are striving to do away with private property" and "6. ...every man has by nature the right to possess property as his own.". And "8. The fact that God has given the earth for the use and enjoyment of the whole human race can in no way be a bar to the owning of private property." (Clearly Frank hasn't read RN. If we TWEETED him a link, think he'd read it?)
Just, how many families ("societies!") are there with ONE PERSON (what the current tripe conciliar CCC says SOCIETY'S GOAL is: the person. Singular)??? That's pure messed up.
I closed the tab as I couldn't take anymore, but thanks for the warning: in case my kids ever get exposed to this Wojtyla CCC tripe, I'm going to go over Rerum Novarum with them in great detail.
