"When I hear a conservative Catholic argue that setting the minimum wage is a mere matter of prudential judgment, I cringe because they are unwittingly denying that how we treat our fellow men and women is called to reflect the love within the Godhead itself. "

No they aren't.  Sudy up on what prudential judgment means.

It's not up to the Church to weigh in on specific cases...telling free Catholics what to pay in wages!!

Ridiculous.
