Just because you think abortion is the number one social issues doesn’t mean others do, and just because others don’t agree with you doesn’t mean their motivations are cynical. Why not assume others have honest motivations but have arrived at different conclusions? Why not try to understand why their viewpoint is different than yours? Then a real dialog can begin.

Totally agree with William Burns’ comment.

Here’s a nutty idea: why not ask African-Americans in New York what is the number one social justice issue for African Americans in New York?

It’s a shame that within many of the ecclesial communities, “social justice” has been co-opted to mean Marxist analysis and solutions. It’s true of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Texas Catholic Conference, I am afraid, which feature ceaseless lobbying efforts for funding this, that and the other liberal cause or central-government fix.

One of the worst recent examples of this is the USCCB’s support for socialized medicine. Oh, they ended up opposing Obamacare on the grounds of 3 issues (and they should have), but their back-and-forth rhetoric was confusing and, in the end, gave moral “cover” to the faux pro-life Democrats who voted for Obamacare on the false promise of an “executive order” not to fund abortions.

Which leads to the other problem with “social justice” in the churches. The article’s pointing out that the “social justice” apparatchiks are so tempted to make political alliances with the Left that they go silent on the greatest social justice issue of the day, the murdering of the innocent in the womb.

They just don’t see anything wrong with killing babies.

Listen to the rhetoric: a baby is a “parasite”, a “cancerous growth”, a “punishment”.

They don’t see it as a living thing. They see it as a bundle of everything they hate: the consequences of irresponsible action, responsibility for another person’s needs, sacrifice so that someone else may have life.

Right, and if you buy into the rest of evangelical dogma, saving souls from hell is also a social justice issue.
