OK ... are you a fan of abortion and faggotry, or are you incapable of reading?

I'm quite appalled by this thread. You folks seem unable to understand the first amendment.

I'll try this in another manner.

Is "social justice" a religious precept of the Catholic Church?

[philman_36]

@THE SOCIAL PRINCIPLES OF THE CHURCH
By Msgr. Luigi Civardi Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur, 1961c) Social justice governs the relations between different social classes, between employers and employees, and distributes the benefits and burdens of society. Fees, salaries and pensions are the object of social justice, which is also called distributive justice.

You getting it yet?

@Handbook of Catholic Social Teaching - Social Justice1. How does Catholic thought view social justice?
"In Catholic thought, social justice is not merely a secular or humanitarian matter. Social justice is a reflection of God's essential respect and concern for each person and an effort to protect the essential human freedom necessary for each person to achieve his or her destiny as a child of God." U.S. Bishops. To Do the Work of Justice (1978) 8. 5. What is at the center of all Catholic social teaching?
"At the center of all Catholic social teaching are the transcendence of God and the dignity of the human person. The human person is the clearest reflection of God's presence in the world; all of the Church's work in pursuit of both justice and peace is designed to protect and promote the dignity of every person. For each person not only reflects God, but is the expression of God's creative work and the meaning of Christ's redemptive ministry." U. S. Bishops. The Challenge of Peace (1983) 15.

Legislation doesn't grant dignity to a person. A person gathers dignity upon themselves by their actions, words and deeds.
I'm not a member of the Catholic Church and I don't want their religious precepts forced upon me, or other American Citizens, through legislative acts! They violate my First Amendment freedom of religion when they push their "social justice" upon me through government legislation.

And in case you didn't know "distributive justice" comes straight out of the mind of Marx...see @"Communist Manifesto distributive justice"

Really, you're not in the position to question anyone else's reading abilities.

The Church has turned a blind eye towards homosexualism, which led to the terrible homosexual priest scandal, and they've implicitly endorsed Barack Obama from the pulpit.

Or maybe you don't go to Mass in other parishes and dioceses to see what's really going on. Fortunately, for you, there are others here to tell you. Wake up.
