Sadly, too many 'Christians' fail to see any need to actually put their faith into physical practice.  Oh, they are 'churched' and they pray.  Then,  they condemn any and all who actually DO stand up for others as sons and daughters of God.  The social gospel of the Church is based on the Beatitudes and on the Gospel of Matthew 25:31-47 [The Judgment of the Nations].  This is not an optional position.  

Mercy, Compassion, Concern, and Love for those in distress----must compel us as Christian/Catholics!
