self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their
Creator with inherent and inalienable rights; that among these, are life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights,
governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the
consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes
destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish
it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such

dole become a 'inalienable right' that I have to pay
for? Where does the minority get to decide what the majority will pay for?
Social Justice means protecting everyone's rights to be left alone in peace.
L, L, and PofH! Unfortunately, 'social justice' is
a code word for more government control of society. Higher taxes, more dole, less personal responsibility. Sorry, the concept of
'inalienable rights' flows from the Lockian concept
of 'negative rights'; you have a right to be free of interference, not a
right to something that some else has produced. Charity freely given -- fine;
welfare paid for a the point of a gun -- slavery. So
how much of a slave are you? I figure they got me for 90%!] # # # # # * Posted on: Mon, Jul 7 2008 8:29 AM |

27 � 2008 JULY 06 In response to Mark Mangone’s (’77)comment about Jesus and justice in the
week 27 edition you wrote: *** begin quote *** “I wasn’t around in Jesus’ time,
so I don’t know what he favored. The purpose of the American Government,
which has morphed into the Gooferment we have now, started out as: “We hold these truths to be
self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their
Creator with inherent and inalienable rights; that among these, are life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights,
governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the

protect rights; nothing else. No social justice. No dole. No all sorts of
stuff social security, funny money, aggressive wars, drug prohibition, income
tax, etc. etc. etc. etc. “Social Justice” is a code word
for government welfare. *** end quote *** I believe you cite the wrong
reference document. Rather than the philosophical treatise on the nature of
government contained in the Declaration of Independence (an attempt in part
by men about to commit treason to justify their actions on the world stage
and hopefully save their necks from the noose) you should quote the preamble
to the constitution, as clear an attempt to define the legitimate agenda of
government as you will ever find. The framers begin their effort to
establish a new government by stating: “We the People of the United States,
in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic
Tranquility, provide for the common defence,
promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves
and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United
States of America.” There it is! Plain and simple. But
note that “welfare” (ooooh!) ranks up there among
the six reasons. (But perhaps the over-simplification of always thinking of
it as “Gooferment” has eroded your capacity for more subtle analysis.) And, If, because you weren’t there
you don’t know what Jesus said about social justice, you might want to
re-read the gospels (and throw in a smattering of encyclicals - start with Rerum Novarum and work
forward). It isn’t that hard to know where Jesus would stand. Bob Insull
(’63) [JR: Do I detect a little ad
holmium argument? And, I am sure in your next missive, you will explain how some
subset of people 200 years ago binds me to a contract for me to pay every
freeloader who can figure out a way to get on the dole today? Plymouth Colony
starved for two years under socialism; thriving only when they converted to
'capitalism'. And, perhaps you can lecture me on how 'general welfare'
becomes specific 'individual welfare' in the form of payments to four
generations of 'welfare farmers' who just happen to block vote correctly?
Perhaps you can also correct my illusion of 'gooferment' by pointing out any
ONE program that is effectively efficient or efficiently effective? As far as
the Gospels, surely even an educated Jasper as
yourself, will acknowledge that these were by put pen to paper about one
hundred years after he walked the earth, so may have not captured exactly His
thinking. And, reading papal encyclicals will certainly shed a lot of light
on American Socialism. No, sorry, I think that we will just have to agree to
disagree agreeably.] * Posted on: Mon, Jul 7 2008 9:04 PM |

Sign up for Catholic Culture Insights today! Catholic social doctrines are catholic in a double sense. First, they are taught by the Catholic Church. Second, they are catholic, or universal, in scope. They apply to everyone regardless of religion. Catholic social precepts are universal because their foundation is derived from what is common to all human beings. This foundation comprises principles of natural law, human dignity and fellowship. 1. Natural Law Natural law is the law of nature.1 We can define natural law as the prescriptions for human conduct derived from reason as applied to the nature of things. By “prescriptions for human conduct” I mean what we ought to do or not to do. Reason, of course, is a fundamental basis for any law. There’s the old saying that where reason ends, so ends the law. And by the nature of things we mean reality, the way things act by their nature, and that includes human nature. This definition also presupposes some purpose. The Ten Commandments are a concise statement of natural law principles. {Extraneous Deleted} Adrian Calderone

http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm? Catholic scholars group: Diocese
should recognize union BY SARAH HOFIUS HALL STAFF WRITER 07/08/2008 More than 150 Catholic workers
rights and social justice scholars are now showing support for the teachers
union the Diocese of Scranton refuses to recognize. # - # - # The Catholic Scholars for Worker
Justice, an organization of more than 150 scholars engaged in research,
teaching and publication on Catholic social teaching, issued a release Monday
calling for the diocese to recognize the Scranton Diocese Association of
Catholic Teachers as a collective bargaining unit. “There’s a violation of Catholic
teaching here,” Joseph Fahey, Ph.D., a professor of religious studies at Fahey studied all aspects of the
conflict between the diocese and the union, visited the region and then wrote
a report that he circulated to the organization’s members. Members of the organization’s
steering committee include scholars from The organization, which formed
about five months ago and has grown rapidly, decided to endorse the teachers. “Catholic Scholars for Worker
Justice calls upon the Diocese of Scranton to end its campaign against the
diocesan teachers’ right to free association,” the statement read. Michael Milz,
the president of the teachers union, said the statement represents the
support the union has received from countless individuals, including
religious scholars. “I think it’s terrific,” Milz said. “It comes from some pretty heavy hitters.” In January, the diocese announced
it would not recognize the union and has instead implemented an employee
relations program which focuses on issues such as wages, benefits, working
conditions and the grievance process. In a statement issued Monday, the
diocese stated it “respects the right of individuals or groups to express
their opinions.” “In turn, the diocese asks those
individuals and groups to respect the fact that a Bishop is responsible for
the apostolate of Catholic education in his diocese, and he has the right to
manage the personnel practices in his diocese as he sees fit to best fulfill
that apostolate.” The diocese’s statement also noted
that there is no “campaign” by the diocese “against teachers’ rights,” which
was suggested in the organization’s statement. # # # # # * Posted on: Tue, Jul 8 2008 7:58 PM |

newspaper, Saltarelli apologizes again for the
scandal that has rocked the Catholic Church since 2002. He said he was

allegations were substantiated. 2005 Two Catholic elementary schools,
