Dear Sitetest,

Yes, I understand that. However, I do not think that the principles listed in your first paragraph are correctly subsumed under the heading of social justice. The Church was teaching them for centuries before the term "social justice" was coined. I don't know what to call them. "God telling us how to act right," I guess. Certainly they precede and are above "society."

IMO, your second paragraph sets out the correct definition of "social justice," which I believe to be of and from Satan.

Dear dsc,

Though the term may not be 2000 years old, it is nonetheless used in the first sense (those things taught for centuries) by the authoritative Magisterium.

Just because the heterodox wish to hijack a word or a term doesn't mean we have to let them. "Social justice" is a very nice phrase. It is succinct and filled with meaning. It is an apt term to title the Church's teachings on how to live justly in human society.
