CATHOLIC SOCIAL JUSTICE BY ST. JOHN PAUL 11

CATHOLIC SOCIAL JUSTICE BY ST. JOHN PAUL II

IN PURSUIT OF THE TRUTH - HTTP://WWW.CINOPSBEGONEBLOGSPOT.COM - TUES. SEP. 25/18

Ref.: From the classic book, "Co-Workers of the Truth" Meditation for Every Day of the Year,  by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, Ignatius Press, San Francisco 1992 - Meditation - Sept. 21

" In the course of his (St. John Paul II) sermon in Mainz, Germany on Nov. 16, 1980, the Holy Father spoke of the new dimensions of Christian doctrine and of our social obligations; the problematic relationship between man and machine; the rationalization of technical procedure versus the problem of supply-and-demand in the employment area;

     the integration of migrant workers while maintaining full respect for their cultural and historical identity; the question of the limits of production, to which is linked the important topic of the generations: the generation that is presently able to work must support the older generation that preceded it and the younger generation that is not yet able to earn a living, but it must also preserve the earth for future generations and give them the ability to transmit to their descendants what they have inherited.

    A "solidarity" community is not a community for today alone; it includes yesterday and tomorrow as well. We work today for tomorrow, but we must not squander today the inheritance of tomorrow. We are reminded here of another aspect of the social question.

      Justice is no longer to be circumscribed by the boundaries of one country. North and south, rich nations and poor, form one world in which the fate of one group is not to be separated from that of another. That is why the Pope emphasized in  Mainz that "the social question has today a world-wide dimension."

    In our struggle for justice, we must not forget the rights of people of other countries so that they, too,

may learn to render "to each his own". Only when we keep in mind the justice of the whole world can we rightfully discern what justice means for us here and now.

     Only when we find, in the self-determination of the Christian Faith and its moral force, the initiative for a Christian justice for the whole world, can there be an end to the destructive message of violence, which is overweening wherever egoism is stronger than right. As Christians, we must not sleep again in a time of  crisis, as happened to some extent in the nineteenth century. (1983)

P.P.S. National Catholic Report, Sep. 21- Oct. 4, 2018 --Excerpts: Headline:

Progressive Catholic women join 'pink wave' - Catholic social teaching inspires some to run in 2018:

"Take Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the twenty-old New Yorker who in June beat 10 time incumbent U.S. Rep. Joe Crowley by emphasizing justice, human rights and dignity. Headlines were quick to identify those values as socialist, but they are also Catholic. ... Ocasio-Cortez outed herself as a Catholic ... argued for criminal justice reform based on Catholic teaching about forgiveness. She also cited Jesus' instruction in Matthew 25 to care "for the least among us" "as "guiding principle." ...

{Where does Ocasio-Cortez stand on abortion, gay marriage, religious liberty, assisted-suicide, etc.? Is she aware that the Democratic Party just loves and promote Catholic-in-name- politicians?  We have Governors Brown and Cuomo. We have Nancy Pelosi and in the Senate - Durbin, Leahy and ten others.

Today, in California, we have CINOP Newson running for governor of California on Nov. 6th.
