It is without doubt, as it always is, the response will be at best evasive, then once offended, attempt to deflect and redirect the blame of the current chaos back towards those who possess Biblical moral virtue. The Christian conservative must in the midst of these baseless attacks continue to press for that new and improved foundation upon which progressives cannot provide. Does this indicate the fault of "We the People" falling for the secular Marxist's ploy and becoming "We the sheeple?" Or is the neglect of the shepherds of Christendom who no longer preach all that they are called to preach? Are "We the sheeple" only hearing John 3:16 and not John 3:16-21, 1 Timothy 2 and not 2 timothy 4? Is this why "We the sheeple" cowardly refrain from discussing "religion and politics" because someone might get offended when the FOUNDATION of Biblical moral virtue highlights the chaos of lives without responsibilities as defined by the boundaries of "the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God?" - Gary Kelly Fri, 07 Jan 2011 11:05:27 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2010/the-missing-foundation-of-social-justice.html#comment-5524 Economic issues are not "broader" than life issues. It's quite the other way around. - FW Ken Sat, 25 Dec 2010 12:31:31 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2010/the-missing-foundation-of-social-justice.html#comment-5515 A very important correction on my reply above: Sr. Keehan was not associated with St. Joseph's Hospital in Phoenix as she heads the U.S. Catholic Health Association. She was NOT excommunicated, but she does support the hospital against Bishop Olmsted. The nun who was excommunicated was Sr. Margaret McBride of St. Joseph's Hospital. - Bill Fri, 24 Dec 2010 11:46:35 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2010/the-missing-foundation-of-social-justice.html#comment-5510 Sr. Keehan of St. Joseph's Hospital in Phoenix, AZ is a "social justice" religious who assented to an abortion of a healthy baby at the Hospital. Bishop Olmstead excommunicated her and removed St. Joseph's (after years of studying it and Catholic Healthcare West) as a Catholic institution. Isn't it so much more pleasant when you have an adult Pope and an adult bishop? It removes everything from the realm of theory where the Church has been "parked" for the last fifty years. - Bill Thu, 23 Dec 2010 07:19:07 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2010/the-missing-foundation-of-social-justice.html#comment-5509 Since the time of Leo XIII and Rerum Novarum in 1891, the concept of social justice in Church documents has referred to economic issues affecting people in society. To drag in to social justice pro life issues separate and apart from those broader issues is to dilute and confuse. It is bad enough that much of what is written about social justice is socialism, not justice. Your quote from Caritas in Veritate is taken out of context. - senex Thu, 23 Dec 2010 06:03:21 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2010/the-missing-foundation-of-social-justice.html#comment-5508 It is ironic, and a bit bizarre, that liberal Catholics who support "a woman's right to choose" justify this by claiming that the essence of Christianity is social justice, and not "side-issues" like abortion. - Howard Kainz Thu, 23 Dec 2010 05:51:13 +0100
