There are the "oppressed" by liberal Western standards - i.e. men who like to dress as women and who are cruelly denied access to the women's public restrooms, union bosses who are being forced to stop stealing other people's dues, and rich kids who like to "occupy" other people's property.
Then there are the actual oppressed - Sudanese refugees being driven from their homes by Janjaweed soldiers, children maimed and forced into slave labor in India, Chinese people rotting in jail for preaching the Gospel, 99.999% of the North Korean population, etc.
There is true social justice and there is fake social justice.
Although Glenn Beck and Barack Obama may not know the difference between the two, I suspect Pope Francis does.
That’s why I put “social justice” in quotes. I too hope he knows the difference. It’s a huge issue. Will he support the left, or oppose them.
