That's certainly not how Catholicism sees it.Fist and Faith wrote:Feel free to speak of Catholicism. Or quote others speaking about Catholicism. But, as was said in The Outlaw Josey Wales, don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining.

Working for Justice is (or rather, can be) a manifestation of God's love, both liberating the oppressed and admonishing the sinner doing the oppression (whether that oppressor is a private individual, a corporation, a statesman, a party-platform or a government entity).
Just as an off-the-cuff example:
Is not this the kind of fasting I, the Lord, have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every burden?
    — Isiah 58:6
Doubtless, further quotes from Scripture, from the Magisterium, from Popes and Sages and Saints could be adduced ad nauseam.
Nevertheless, such is an academic point and in no way is meant to imply that the Close's posting guidelines are inherently "wrong". Rather, the facts on the ground dictate that I'll simply hafta figure out some way to both satisfy the Close's posting parameters and speak Catholically about what is Right and Good. That's on me to man-up and work-out.
