Social justice is has been perverted by leftists to mean the complete economic equality of all members of society.

Social justice does not mean socialism. The "common good" does not mean communism. The leftists have taken those concepts and perverted them to their own means.

Social Justice: the respect for the human person and the rights which flow from human dignity and guarantee it. Society must provide the conditions that allow associations or individuals to obtain what is their due, according to their nature and their vocation.

Social Justice:
the respect for the human person
and the rights which flow from
human dignity and guarantee it.
Society must provide the conditions
that allow associations or individuals
to obtain what is their due,
according to their nature and their vocation.

The Problem is between the words Should and Must,
and the application of the word Rights

It is the act of a Christian, in Obedience,
to Give of Self and Substance
But “Society” is not Christian, and Governance is not God
I cannot compel one to give of self and substance
If God gives you Free Will, I cannot remove it without Great Error
A Christian, in Obedience, Serves as they are called to do.
I, and by extension, Governance,
cannot Compel Service without reducing one to Slavery

The use of “MUST” in the definition above
pertains to Society and hence a
varying mix of believers and non-believers,
and a varying degree of Obedience.

Also,
“obtain what is their due”
Is a bizarre concept in Christianity when applied this way.
I OWN nothing, God does
At best I have Stewardship of a thing, for a time
I am due nothing but Death, except through Grace and Repentance
And even that as God's Gift to us.

Society, not Christianity,
has established a Very imperfect mechanism
for “Distributing the Loot”

Christ, Christians, and the Church
Stand as beacons on the hill
To show "Society" that there is a better way

I Must act in Obedience to God's Will toward Me
As I have placed myself under submission and obedience

I Cannot Compel Your Behavior without Great Error
Without You, Yourself, Placing Yourself under God Law
Society to a great degree is comprised by those
who have not done this...

I Give of Self and Substance, in Obedience to God's Will
Society, when Compelled to do so
Is reduced to Slavery

Oh Yes...
Dignity, in this Context, is a bizarre concept also
Submission knows nothing of Dignity

The Founding Father's understood these concept
Separating Church and State
And the early history of this Country is replete with examples of
the consequences of Church compelling Governance
Failing in Submission and Obedience,
causing great harm...
