| What is Social Justice, Anyways? | |||||||||||||||||

| As Ronald Rolheiser states in A Spirituality of Justice and Peacemaking, social justice has to do with issues such as poverty, inequality, war, racism, sexism, abortion, and lack of concern for ecology because what lies at the root of each of these is not so much someone's private sin or some individual's private inadequacy but rather a huge, blind system that is inherently unfair. To practice social justice is to examine, challenge, refuse as far as possible to participate in, and try to change those systems (economic, social, political, cultural, mythic, and religious) that unjustly penalize some even as they unjustly reward others. For a Christian, the question of social justice has not only to do with trust, but also with energy, with the motive of helping God build a kingdom of peace and joy for all. |
