History
Many Christian organizations strongly support social justice. However, this is a trap promoted by [[Liberal Christianity]] claiming [[Jesus]] was a [[socialist]]. We are to help the less fortunate but we are not to become the less fortunate in the process. The [[National Council of Churches]], the group that translates the Bible to the New Revised Standard Version, is an advocate of Social Justice. <ref>[http://www.christianpost.com/article/20100320/glenn-beck-keeps-social-justice-debate-alive/index.html Glenn Beck Keeps 'Social Justice' Debate Alive Christian Post, March 20, 2010]</ref>

===The Roman Catholic Church and Social Justice===
==History==
The phrase "social justice" was first coined by a Jesuit Priest named Luigi Taparelli, in his work titled ''Saggio teoretico di dritto naturaleappoggiato sul fatto'' - ''A Theoretical Treatise on Natural Law Resting on Fact''.<ref>[http://www.americanthinker.com/2013/12/conservatism_and_social_justice.html#ixzz3njgbJx1k Conservatism and Social Justice], [[American Thinker]]</ref><ref>[http://www.firstthings.com/web-exclusives/2010/11/real-social-justice Real Social Justice]</ref>
When Taparelli coined this phrase, he did not have in mind for it a meaning that government would swoop in and take over every aspect of your life. That definition for "social justice" came much later.
==The Roman Catholic Church and Social Justice==
The Roman Catholic Church advocates social justice that is based on charity and support for all mankind, its key points being respect for the human person, equality and difference among men, human solidarity. In brief, they seek respect, equal dignity, encourage charity, reduce excessive social and economic inequalities, the elimination of sinful inequalities, and the sharing of spiritual goods. <ref>[http://www.vatican.va/archive/catechism/p3s1c2a3.htm Vatican- Social Justice]</ref>
