Twisting the Fusion

Glenn Beck made comments about Social Justice that was quickly misunderstood and misconstrued.

Beck spoke of the magazine called Social Justice that Father Charles Coughlin created in the 1930s. In it, Coughlin used the term Social Justice to define socialist ideals and government involvement in the lives of individuals.  It was not the way Roman Catholic priests Luigi Taparelli or Antonio Rosmini-Serbati used it. Coughlin's focus on politics and economics outweighed the emphasis on the Biblical perspective of social justice that Taparelli and Rosmini-Serbati referred back to, which was local groups helping and supporting the community aside from any assistance or intrusion by the government.  Sadly, the term social justice has been hijacked once again by those who believe in an overreaching State, who will inevitably create many true injustices to its citizens.
