The degradation of the One True Faith during recent decades in the name of "social justice" has been appalling. Naturally, I would say that most traditionalists, and maybe even a good number of neo-conservative Catholics for that matter, cringe when they hear the term these days. But is social justice actually a principle that is not supported by the Church, or has it been warped to mean whatever modernists want (in the "spirit of Vatican II")? I always understood real Catholic social teaching to regard social justice as evangelization, care for the poor, etc. as performed by the laity and the religious together, but not advocating for socialism. What do you think?
Social Justice, esp w/AMericanists,was ignored and more liberal factions took it up, twisting it.
THere is nothing wrong with it, despite Glenn Beck attempts to get Catholics on board his corportist, americanist agenda......
read Rerum Novarum,etc......largely, anything that IHS Press and Loretto, Angelus Press sell on the matter.......it is NOT a dirty word, conservatives need only blame themselves for their americanism and hence, rejection of uniquely Catholic principles on economics, govt, etc,etc......
