To: Natural Law; Dr. Eckleburg
The Catholic Church has defined and taught the desirability and goal of social justice long before there was ever a Karl Marx.

1928 - Society ensures social justice when it provides the conditions that allow associations or individuals to obtain what is their due, according to their nature and their vocation. Social justice is linked to the common good and the exercise of authority.

1929 - Social justice can be obtained only in respecting the transcendent dignity of man. The person represents the ultimate end of society, which is ordered to Him.

History according to Natural Law? Karl Mark died in 1883, almost 50 years before your "proof" dates.

In any event Social Justice, Liberation Theology, and Marxism have developed into a common "Social Justice" buzz word term.

I offered no proof dates, I only offered an affirmation of the concept embedded within the Catechism. The concept predates Marx by at least 600 years. Although the term "social justice" was adopted by the Jesuit Luigi Taparelli in the 1840s. The concept is largely based on the works of St. Thomas Aquinas and is grounded in Thomistic metaphysics.

Now that you have been made aware of your error all subsequent repetitions will legitimately be classified as lies. Keep trying. Sooner or later you are bound to get something right.
