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.

Let’s be Frank, Frances. Quit virtue signaling.
I’ll start.
I challenge the Pope to stand down, give up his wealth and stature and live among the destitute and homeless to show REAl social justice.
My uncle Frank would’ve been a better pope.
R.i.P. Frank Warner. Franks a lot. love.
Mother Teresa would Kung-Fu fight him. Kick his butt.
Let him redistribute the Vatican’s wealth.
Roman Catholic is fine. Argentina Catholic the problem.
Thanks but no thanks poppy. We’ve had enough social justice shoved down our throats already.
yes. absolutely!
Keep filling those collection baskets. Give until it hurts. And then give some more.
“ They have supported every crazy liberal and their crazy ideas and voted for those who ran for office.”

That sounds like Ku Klux Klan lingo there. Are you a southern Protestant Democrat?
“ 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.”

THIS is Ku Klux Klan talk. What going on here? 😡
This imposter is very happy now that a pro-abortion America-hating White-hating marxist is in the White House.
He is still there, living in the monastery. He is 93 years old ...https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/report-retired-pope-benedict-xvi-ill-visit-germany-72141493#:~:text=Benedict%20has%20lived%20at%20a,was%20succeeded%20by%20Pope%20Francis.
I ignore both trolls and fools, so there will be no further response.
Just so you’re know, I do not ignore militant religious bigots.
Pope Francis has tested negative for Christian belief.
Just please, no Irish or American popes. Ever.
Pope Jose Bergoglio is the child of Italian immigrants and I’ve found that Italians are pretty pick and choose about religion, but rarely ideological. Bergoglio is an SJ, most of whom went full leftard after WWII.
Just please, no Irish or American popes. Ever.
