“Every institution places its ultimate weight on preserving its own life. That is why the Church emphasizes loving God over loving one's neighbor.... The push for justice on the other hand might be at the center of the Gospel but it also attacks the balance of power in the society. Since the rich always exploit the poor, to give the poor power, dignity and humanity makes them less pliable, less cooperative.” GivingHandsMightHumanityChurchJusticePoorChristianityRichBalanceDignityUltimateWeightInstitutionsNeighborExploitsLoving GodCooperativesBalance Of Power Author:John Shelby Spong

“To each, therefore, must be given his own share of goods, and the distribution of created goods, which, as every discerning person knows, is laboring today under the gravest evils due to the huge disparity between the few exceedingly rich and the unnumbered propertyless, must be effectively called back to and brought into conformity with the norms of the common good, that is, social justice.” KnowsPersonsWisdomTodayEvilPoliticsGivenSocialJusticeCommonEconomyRichShareHugeSocial JusticeDuesLiberalismGoodsConformityNormDistributionCommon GoodDisparityDiscerning Book:On reconstructing the social order: (Quadragesimo anno) Source: On reconstructing the social order: (Quadragesimo anno)

“...As the disparity between the rich and the poor grows, the fight to corner resources is intensifying. To push through their "sweetheart deals," to corporatize the crops we grow, the water we drink, the air we breathe, and the dreams we dream, corporate globalization needs an international confederation of loyal, corrupt, authoritarian governments in poorer countries to push through unpopular reforms and quell the mutinies. Corporate Globalization-or shall we call it by its name?-Imperialism-needs a press that pretends to be free.
