I partially agree with Beck. I cringe when our Bishops promote 'social justice'.
But...that doesn't change the fact that the Catholic church is the one true church started by Christ. It also won't change what I believe.
Catholic League president Bill Donohue weighs in on the flap over Glenn Beck's comment that people should leave their church if it is promoting "social justice":
Glenn Beck has been slammed all week for his flip remark, and some have accused him of being anti-Christian. Let's examine what he said.
Beck said that "social justice" and "economic justice" are "code words." Of course they are: they are code for economic redistribution. "Pro-life" is also a code word—it means anti-abortion. For the record, the Catholic Church embraces both a social justice and pro-life position. It is pro-union, believes in universal health care, promotes a "preferential option for the poor," and is opposed to abortion, assisted suicide and embryonic stem cell research.
Many are hammering Beck for saying, "Am I advising people to leave their church? Yes!" A closer read of what he said shows he followed that quip with, "If I am going to Jeremiah Wright's church. If you have a priest that is pushing social justice, go find another parish."
