Catholic Social Justice

 I reviewed many U Tube videos and many have good visuals about what our Catholic Faith believes--  The OPEN UP YOUR EYES video is incredible they ask questions of  children "Where do you work?" and a  7-yr old says "In a garage, in a tea shop, " so sad but they are all smiling --must see!!!!

And the Catholic Social Justice website at http://www.archmil.org/offices/social-justice.htm and they have these programs to name a few:
  • Catholic Campaign for Human Development and the Multi-Media Youth Arts Contest
  • Catholic Relief Services
  • Operation Rice Bowl
  • CRS Fair Trade Program
  • Faithful Citizenship
  • Justice for Immigrants
  • Voices for Justice
  • Wisconsin Catholic Conference
  •  And here is a great reference to scripture: WARNING: The study, practice, and spirituality of Catholic social justice teachings may be hazardous to your 
    hard-heartedness, complacency, skepticism and  indifference.  Proceed at your own risk! 
    You are the God of the lowly, the helper of the oppressed, the supporter of the weak, the protector of the forsaken,
    the savior of those without hope. Judith 9:11

    Those who shut their ears to the cry of the poor will themselves also call and not be heard. Proverbs 21:13 

    The Proverbs quote  is one to remember....
