And just who would administer this “Social Justice”? A coterie of Catholic priests at court whispering into the ears of whomever is in power?

No thank you, we've seen enough examples of that.

And who would define just what “Social Justice” is? The Vatican? Catholic bishops? Catholic congressmen like Robert Drinan?

Again, no thank you, “social justice” is just social injustice with a smile.

“And who would define just what “Social Justice” is?”

The concept of “social justice” is of and from Satan.

Christians are called to charity, mercy, and love. The minute you term the acts that should arise from these virtues a matter of “justice,” you have given the government a license to send men with guns to enforce them.

As with all leftist evil, “social justice” substitutes the power of the state for our God-given free will. Where God says He wants us to be loving, merciful, and charitable, but leaves us the free will to be otherwise, “social justice” is the state saying, “Screw free will. You will *act* as we think you should, or men with guns will come and arrest, fine, or kill you.”

As Shakespeare tells us, “The quality of mercy (and charity, and love)...is twice blessed. It blesseth him that gives, and him that takes.”

Government-enforced redistribution of resources in the name of “social justice” is twice damned: It robs the free will of him that gives, and degrades him that takes.

Shakespeare also notes that, “...in the course of justice, none of us should see salvation. We do pray for mercy, and that same prayer doth teach us all to render the deeds of mercy.”

There is God’s will at work: people learning to be merciful for its own sake, and not because some leftist has a gun pointed at their heads.

And what does “social justice” teach us? From the POV of the taxed, “Men with guns take my hard-earned wages and give it to strangers, leaving me no choice in where and whether to perform deeds of charity.” From the POV of the taker, “They are so reluctant to help me that men with guns have to make them do it. How deep their contempt for me must be.”

As with so many of Satan’s programs, “social justice” appears to be noble, but is in fact deeply evil and destructive.

Where you find charity, mercy, and love, there also is Our Lord.

Where you find “social justice,” there also is Satan.
