There’s nothing wrong with helping the oppressed.
It’s when Catholic hierarchy uses the gov’t to do the work.
“He considers social outreach, rather than doctrinal battles, to be the essential business of the church.”
Helping the oppressed is fine. But as you say, not through gov’t. I have relatives who are catholic who justify their extreme liberal views by “social justice”. I’d like to know where he stands on socialists governments and their aiding the cause of social justice.
