Yeah, since I am not of the rc practice, I am under whelmed. The catholic church ,particularly in Latin America , has spent soooo much time in recent decades preaching the social gospel and social justice that I do not hear the spiritual message they supposedly contain.
The gospel of the Nazarene is very distinct. It calls us to follow him. It also shows us that one should render unto ceasar that which is ceasar’s and unto God what is God’s. I am so sick of this call for ‘redistribution’ of wealth and for social justice. I will believe the pope actually takes it to heart when the catholic church divests itself of ALL worldly property and gives the proceeds to the poor. Paul had no church nor did any of the apostles. The pope is just another power driven politician in church clothing
A sign of sloppy thinking.
ALL Justice is "social."
As Thomas Sowell has said, "A man living alone on a desert island has no need of Justice."
