text: Monte - What do you mean when you say social justice is a category of reality? It's a conceptual reality - a very amorphous one at that. But a category of reality? UFOs are, in a sense, a category of reality - but only for those who believe in them. 
  
  Social justice as a concept and moral agenda has a very distinct history, with 19th Century roots. That elements of what we now refer to as social justice may be found in the Bible, the Constitution or the Declaration is really inconsequential, as elements of every imaginable social and political philosophy can be found in such documents. 
  
  Social justice does not necessarily result in communism. But what it does imclude - at least as I understand it - is a system of laws and regulations enacted and enforced by state police powers to achieve a preconceived notion of justice and fairness in the allocation of material goods and resources. 
  
  Do you disagree? Where do you find endorsement of such a concept in Christ's life or words?
