If I look up in the sky and pray for "Fill in the Blank" will he hear me? I doubt it so I don't. What I do is try my best to be true to my word, helpful, honest (as possible) and be the best person I can be while on this earth. Religion is good for some and bad for others. Some need the structure it provides while some go off the deep end and become enslaved.
So...What the heck did that have to do with whether of not "Social Justice" makes for a good government model.
Some people need to fail and hit bottom before they get in touch with reality. If you keep feeding them and keeping them from falling thought their lifetime they learn nothing except reliance.
Example: A family member has always been kept from suffering even though she was responsible for the suffering with terrible decisions in life. This has gone on since she was 13 years old and now that she is 37 covered in tattoos and piercings she can't take care of herself. She always had someone behind her to support her and pay for her poor decisions. She is basically handicapped.
A government which takes from the rich to give to the poor ends up with a society which expects something for nothing. I believe in a hand up and even give a hand out, but at some point you have to let people deal with the consequences of their bad decisions.
I guess that makes me a heartless guy who does not understand how tough people have it who don't have resources.

I am not catholic either.

You do not have to be catholic to be a Christian. You were responding to Dannyell who posted Beck's comments advising his listeners to run from any church that promoted social justice.
I assume by your comments that you do not consider yourself a Christian, so my my post is not directed towards you, specifically. Sorry. It is however, directed at those who consider themselves Christians with "Christian values", but fail to understand the scripture and listen to clowns like Beck who tell them to leave their churches.
