Pope Francis Calls for ‘New Social Justice’ to Challenge Utopia
Breitbart ^ | 12/1/20 | Thomas D. Williams

Posted on 12/04/2020 7:47:10 PM PST by marshmallow

ROME — Pope Francis called for a “new social justice” Sunday in which all well-intentioned people will challenge the reigning utopia.

Addressing “social justice judges” from the African and American continents via streaming, the pope congratulated them for their commitment to “social rights,” asserting that the very fact that men and women “come together to think about their work and to build the new social justice is, without a doubt, excellent news.”

The pontiff, who has been a vocal proponent of a “great reset” after the coronavirus pandemic, urged his hearers to “not lose sight of the distressing picture in which a small part of humanity lives in opulence, while an increasingly large number lives without dignity with their most elementary rights ignored or violated.”

“We cannot think disconnected from reality,” he said. “And this is a reality that you must bear in mind.”

The pope insisted that social justice is “a collective work” in which all people of good will challenge the reigning utopia. “Justice is a task that has to be conquered every day, because the imbalance is a temptation of every minute,” he said.

Justice also involves overcoming the temptation to ignore others, “especially the weakest,” Francis said, lamenting that “we have become used to sidestepping or ignoring situations until they impact us directly.”

“Unconditional commitment means taking charge of the pain of the other and not slipping into a culture of indifference,” he added.

How about addressing the thousands of Catholics, Christians being massacred around the globe especially in Moslem countries? Where is their justice?

Pot calling kettle black. Social justice is dystopia disguised as utopia.

I’m not Catholic, and while I don’t wish to be one, I’d say you shouldn’t be ashamed. Embarrassed by the pope yes, but not ashamed of your church.

The pope, in particular, and all Catholics in general, deserve what they are getting.

They have supported every crazy liberal and their crazy ideas and voted for those who ran for office.

A classic example of carrying the rope to your own hanging.

It's called demonic influence.

And it you touch him you get punched :)

That REAL him showed up that day.

He don’t care about you he don’t care about me.

He cares about imposing his communistic world view on everyone.

He’s not a man of God.

I don’t even know at this point if he really believes in God.

The vast majority of true communists do not.

We have FREEDOM from God to send ourselves to Heaven or to hell.

We get to make those choices that lead us one way or another.

Nothing goes against God more than taking those choices from us.

And communism is all about taking choices out of the equation.

Do things their way. Or suffer.
