The example is that of the term Social Justice. \u00a0Taken literally, in a society of strict social justice handicapped people starve to death. \u00a0The reason this is just is because the handicapped person can not work, and therefore no one owes him any food. \u00a0If you can not accept this, then you do not understand what is meant by justice. \u00a0For the protecting and provisioning of handicapped people does not fall under Justice, but under Charity. \u00a0It is the love of our fellow man that spurs us to provide for the indigent. \u00a0In fact, it would be more fitting to call these activities Social Mercy.<\/p>\n

However, therein lies the problem. \u00a0It is my suspicion that a large segment on the left is mentally ill, driven by feelings of insecurity and inadequacy that leads them to be control freaks. \u00a0Now consider that “Mercy” and “Charity” are free, there is no compunction. \u00a0Under Mercy, the grantor of the charitable act does so by his choose alone. \u00a0He is not indebted, and if he chooses to withhold Mercy, there is no offense committed. \u00a0To the Leftist, this causes psychic pain, for there is no insurance that they will be provided for. \u00a0Therefore they conjure up some imaginary debt that the makers and producers owe to the takers, parasites, and looters.<\/p>\n

This leads me to discuss a great evil: “Mercy” at the expense of an injustice. \u00a0An example is the government welfare system. \u00a0There is some element of Mercy (though in reality this is a bastardization), in that some politician or scab sucking maggot social worker grants money to some person. \u00a0However it is at the expense of an injustice; in the pointing of the government gun at the producer to take what is redistributed to the parasite.<\/p>\n

Only when you fully accept what the Catholic Church means by the virtue of Justice will you be able to analyze these economic situations. \u00a0The poor and indigent should be cared for by the Church, Catholic Relief Societies, and Catholic Medical systems. \u00a0This is not the responsibility of the government.<\/p>\n

There is throughout society and in the Catholic Church a serious\u00a0problem: \u00a0Most people don’t understand what is meant by Justice. \u00a0This is one of the fundamental flaws in the Leftist world view. \u00a0Now Justice is simply this: receiving what you are owed, or paying what is owed. \u00a0Justice can be abstracted to the fact that…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"libsyn-item-id":0,"libsyn-show-id":0,"libsyn-post-error":"","libsyn-post-error_post-type":"","libsyn-post-error_post-permissions":"","libsyn-post-error_api":"","playlist-podcast-url":"","libsyn-episode-thumbnail":"","libsyn-episode-widescreen_image":"","libsyn-episode-blog_image":"","libsyn-episode-background_image":"","libsyn-post-episode-category-selection":"","libsyn-post-episode-player_use_thumbnail":"none","libsyn-post-episode-player_use_theme":"mini","libsyn-post-episode-player_height":"50","libsyn-post-episode-player_width":"200","libsyn-post-episode-player_placement":"top","libsyn-post-episode-player_use_download_link":"","libsyn-post-episode-player_use_download_link_text":"","libsyn-post-episode-player_custom_color":"","libsyn-post-episode-itunes-explicit":"","libsyn-post-episode":"","libsyn-post-episode-update-id3":"","libsyn-post-episode-release-date":"","libsyn-post-episode-simple-download":"","libsyn-release-date":"","libsyn-post-update-release-date":"","libsyn-is_draft":"","libsyn-new-media-media":"","libsyn-post-episode-subtitle":"","libsyn-new-media-image":"","libsyn-post-episode-keywords":"","libsyn-post-itunes":"","libsyn-post-episode-itunes-episode-number":"","libsyn-post-episode-itunes-season-number":"","libsyn-post-episode-itunes-episode-type":"","libsyn-post-episode-itunes-episode-title":"","libsyn-post-episode-itunes-episode-author":"","libsyn-destination-releases":"","libsyn-post-episode-advanced-destination-form-data":"[]","libsyn-post-episode-advanced-destination-form-data-enabled":"","libsyn-post-episode-advanced-destination-form-data-input-enabled":false,"libsyn-post-episode-premium_state":"","libsyn-episode-shortcode":"","libsyn-episode-embedurl":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,6],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jamesdeprisco.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jamesdeprisco.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jamesdeprisco.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jamesdeprisco.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jamesdeprisco.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.jamesdeprisco.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25,"href":"https:\/\/www.jamesdeprisco.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23\/revisions\/25"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jamesdeprisco.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jamesdeprisco.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jamesdeprisco.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
