If anything, you should approach the person in error and show them what the Church teaching is,dear sister!

Am I supposed to accuse, and then to instruct, a priest of error, and he's gonna listen to me?

The Church can do this with respect to its own; but I cannot. I have no standing to, for example, (1), visit the "lavender seminaries" to purge them of unqualified-for-the-priesthood homosexuals, who refuse to be bound by the duty of chastity, and thus make a mockery of their priestly vows; (2) I cannot fire the editor of the preeminent Jesuit journal, America, because he's a flaming Marxist; (3) I cannot expose or punish in any effective way child abuse by some clergy....

Though I am glad to note the Church itself, from Rome, is doing such things, for the most part over the kicking and screaming of the American Church....

You want to know what "Social Justice" is?

It is the very successful Marxist subversion of the Magisterium of the Church, the solvent that destroys the deposit of the Christian faith....

It does this by "politicizing" religion.

I just can't stand it. I don't go to church to learn more about contentious political ideologies. I go to church to be with God, and to be strengthened in His Law of Love and Salvation.

In a nutshell, it is my belief that "Social Justice" ideology — a/k/a/ Liberation Theology — is dedicated to the destruction of the Son of God — the Logos Alpha to Omega.

"Social Justice" ideology deals with "groups." Christ deals with individual human souls....

There is no correspondence whatsoever between the arrogant, man-made "Social Justice," and the divine Justice that is eternally the Lord's....

Anyhoot, just some thoughts, for what they're worth (if anything)....

JMHO FWIW. Thank you for writing, dear brother in Christ!

If you physically witness he is in error and not following Church teaching and you're aware of it and say nothing than you become responsible for allowing the error.I heard many protestants tell me they drive their ministers out of their churches quite often because they don't like the theology

I have sent emails to priests before with links to church teaching to back it up when I saw error. I am not sure if some of them changed,but I did the right thing,even though it's difficult

I was interested in what you call Social Justice because there seems to be many versions of it depending on certain political agenda;s,even certain faiths.

I would like for you to explain how the marxist can change or add any new dogmatic teaching. Impossible!Therefore there is no marxist success because it can not change faith and morals-marxism can only mislead the ignorant and weak in faith

I go to church to be with God, and to be strengthened in His Law of Love and Salvation. Than you would want The Blessed Sacrament Of the Eucharist if you are Catholic and if you are not back in full union with the Church yet- you would still be at Mass in Adoration of Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament regardless of the error of a Priest or not.

Let's clear any misconceptions about social justice, from the horses mouth so to speak: Vatican Ambassador: Social Justice is about relationships, not socialism

Peter Cardinal Turkson, President of the Vatican’s Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, has a message for Catholics in America, particularly those involved in social justice ministry, that could put a damper on the political machinations of the Shadow Party.

The message? “Social justice” is about “relationships,” not “socialism.” This clarification may very well be the catalyst to set the Catholic Church in America back on course with authentic Catholic teaching on hot-button issues involving massive government entitlement programs and other forms of overreach. If nothing else, it will almost certainly jump-start the “social justice” debate among Catholics. Cardinal Turkson, you see, is scheduled to deliver the plenary address at the 2011 Catholic Social Ministry Gathering in February.
It would be useful if we just observed our sense of justice as our ability to fulfill the demands of the relationships in which we stand.

This is in contrast to socialism, he explained, which is an ideology in which private property and private interests are totally placed in the service of government policies. What the Pope proposes in ‘Caritas in Veritate,’ said Cardinal Turkson, is ‘achieving the common good without sacrificing personal, private interests, aspirations and desires.’

Cardinal Turkson said the Council was also surprised that the Pope’s concept of the ‘gift,’ was perceived in some circles as encouraging government welfare handouts. In ‘Caritas in Veritate,’ Pope Benedict described the concept of “gift” as a way to understand God’s love for men and women in his gift of life and his gift of Jesus.
Whether he intended to or not, Cardinal Turkson has now echoed what many conservative Catholics in America have been calling for repeatedly — subsidiarity in economic policy. More importantly, the Cardinal observes the heart of the matter in noting that a ‘handout’ and a ‘gift’ are not at all the same, with the latter being more in keeping with the Gospel message.

One of the key principles of Catholic social thought is known as the principle of subsidiarity. This tenet holds that nothing should be done by a larger and more complex organization which can be done as well by a smaller and simpler organization. In other words, any activity which can be performed by a more decentralized entity should be. This principle is a bulwark of limited government and personal freedom. It conflicts with the passion for centralization and bureaucracy characteristic of the Welfare State.
You may remember that Pope John Paul II worked closely with President Ronald Reagan and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher to bring down communism in the Soviet Union and Marxist governments in Latin America. With the worldwide Left now in such kinship with Islam, and with no modern-day Reagan or Thatcher in sight, Pope Benedict XVI certainly has his work cut out for him. If they recognize that America has become polarized, perhaps America’s Catholic bishops will bite the bullet and commit themselves to following in the footsteps of the just-beatified Pope John Paul II…to morally undermine the Left as he morally undermined the Soviet Union.
