text: "Catholics who reject the Church's social teaching can hardly be orthodox."
  
  So why do so many "orthodox" traditionalists reject it? JP II wrote in Laborem exercens, "Besides wages, various social benefits intended to ensure the life and health of workers and their families play a part here. The expenses involved in health care ... demand that medical assistance should be easily available for workers, and that as far as possible it should be cheap or even free of charge." Yet there are conservative Catholics -- hello, Paul Ryan -- who say that healthcare is a privilege.
  
  JPII, in Centesimus Annus, 30-31 wrote “‘man should not consider his material possessions as his own, but as common to all,’ because ‘above the laws and judgments of men stands the law, the judgment of Christ. God gave the earth to the whole human race for the sustenance of all its members, without excluding or favoring anyone.’”  (He is quoting Leo XIII, Rerum Novarum, 22).
