Society ensures social justice when it provides the conditions that allow associations or individuals to obtain what is their due, according to their nature and their vocation. Social justice is linked to the common good and the exercise of authority.
Vaticana, Libreria Editrice. Catechism of the Catholic Church . United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. Kindle Edition. Paragraph 1928
Is our society one that “ensures social justice”?
Do we, as a society, care about providing “the conditions that allow associations or individuals to obtain what is their due”? Do we care if our habitual ways of doing things, as a society, hinder or block some people and groups of people from living out what God made them to do?
Does society care about the “common good”? Can society care if most of its participants don’t?
Does the Church care whether or not society cares? Do Catholics or Protestants or Evangelicals care?
Do I care? Do you care?
This morning, I read in Matthew 25 that what we do “to the least of these” we do unto Jesus.
That’s because Jesus cares.
Grace and peace to you
