Define “Social Justice”.

[NYer]

Define “Social Justice”.

"Social Justice" is different in every country. Insofar as the new pope is concerned, "social Justice" would be defined as it is applied in Argentina. Are you familiar with Argentina?

If you really want to know what Social Doctrine (please use that correct term than the loaded "Social Justice" term used so often by liberals) then you should read this book: http://www.amazon.com/Compendium-Doctrine-Pontifical-Council-Justice/dp/1574556924 Available for free online on Vatican website: http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/pontifical_councils/justpeace/documents/rc_pc_justpeace_doc_20060526_compendio-dott-soc_en.html Available as a PDF here: http://www.discerninghearts.com/PDF/COMPENDIUM+of+Catholic+Social+Doctrine.pdf The cover of the book, by the way, is a picture of a portion of a painting called Allegory of Good Government. The authors of the compendium were slapping the nanny state types by using it because the original painting is coupled with another painting - "Allegory of Bad Government" which is represented as the government of Satan which oppresses people through excessive taxation and regulation. See painting here.
