Social Justice isn't a farther than left policy, I was taught it by a far-right conservative Catholic, it's actually supported by the Vatican.
The Catholic Church can't really be placed on a "left-right" axis -- they have a lot of "left-wing" views on money combined with a lot of "right-wing" views on what you should be allowed to do with your penis.
I've always thought of "social justice" as a left-wing buzzword rather than an actual policy.
- onreact-com 17y agoWho cares for left or right as long as it's the best way and more people live a good life? So stop talking divisions focus on the justice like in "just" here.
- hughprime 17y agoUnfortunately the "left-right" divide is at the very crux of figuring out what "justice" and "living a good life" actually mean, so we can't bypass politics and go straight to "making things better" until we agree on what "better" means. Briefly, left-wing folks think that it's best when everybody is equal, right-libertarians think it's best when everybody is free, and the Catholic Church and other religious types think it's best when everybody does what God says.
- onreact-com 17y agoYeah, but it's insane to construct left-right divisions into issues like social justice and cooking! Basic human rights (social justice is a synonym of those) are universal. Check some definitions: "Fair and proper administration of laws conforming to the natural law that all persons, irrespective of ethnic origin, gender, possessions, race, religion, etc., are to be treated equally and without prejudice. See also civil rights." http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/social-justice.html http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/social-justice....
