Pope Francis has a chance to renew the old tradition of social justice and, in this way, move the focus from redistribution to the building of an orderly framework of society that is effective in lifting the poor. Respecting private property, promoting sound money, combating corruption, weeding out crony capitalism, protectionism, and other causes of unjust inequalities, which especially affect the poor, is a path to a truly liberated and more just society.
Emphasis and italics mine.
Social justice has NOTHING to do with government redistribution. Nothing. In fact Capitalism is, in my opinion, the ONLY system that allows FOR social justice.
Good article.

I do believe that the pope realizes that wherever socialism is established, Christianity becomes its first and most important target to be destroyed.
He doesn’t even have to go all the way back to the Stalin era — all he has to do is look at what has happened in Europe in the last 50 years and what is presently happening in the US.
