Another reactionary who doesn't understand that 'social justice' is based on the Gospel teachings of Jesus, especially found in the Gospel of Matthew 25:31-47 [The Judgment of Nations]. This teaching is part of the heart and soul of Jesus' own ministry.  It was also a recurring theme of the Old Testament Prophets [Amos, Isaiah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk and Jeremiah].


Secondly, social justice has been taught by the Church down through the ages, but began to be especially pointed out in the Encyclicals of Social Justice beginning with "Rerum novarum in 1891---through Vatican II's "Gaudium et spes, 1965 and Dignitatis humanae, 1965; the Roman Synod: Justitia in mundo, 1971; and looking at the U.S. Bishops Pastoral Letters; The Challenge of Peace: God's Promise and Our Response, 1983 and Economic Justice for All, 1986.  There are more---but space doesn't permit their entry here.


Every one of these documents are based on the Word of God and church teachings----and NOTHING TRUMPS that!
