So...Social Justice is bad?

Glenn Beck, that bastion of logical thinking, stated on his show last week that any Christian should leave a church that teaches "social justice." Apparently wanting a more equitable and better life for the less fortunate is really just a code word for communism and nazism.

To quote Dave Berry, "I am NOT making this up." Of course, he usually was, and this is totally true.

So, here is a lovely rebuttable from a Jesuit priest to Mr. Beck.

Oh, also, from Sojournor's website you can send Glen Beck an email message saying how you believe what he said to be very wrong and completely missing the point of much of the Gospels.

Why doesn't the Mormon church speak up? I'm fairly certain Beck is Mormon.

Well, the LDS church hasn't had the greatest track record with minorities in the past. I believe they're working on that aspect of their beliefs.

I don't know enough about LDS beliefs though to say one way or another.
