UH OH, THE BECKSTER HAS JUST TAKEN ON THE AMERICAN CATHOLIC CHURCH

Glenn Beck warned his viewers to run away from churches that speak of "social justice":
"I beg you, look for the words 'social justice' or 'economic justice' on your church Web site. If you find it, run as fast as you can. Social justice and economic justice, they are code words. Now, am I advising people to leave their church? Yes!"

I went to the website of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and on the left side of the front page I found this:
Arms Control
Campaign/Human Development
Catholic Social Ministry Gathering
Catholic Social Teaching
Debt
Death Penalty
Domestic Issues
Economic Justice
Environment
Faith-Based Initiative
Faithful Citizenship
Health
Housing
Government Liaison
Immigration
International Issues
Iraq
Justice, Peace & Human Dev.
Labor Issues
Middle East
Migrants & Refugees
Nonviolence
Poverty
Social Dev. & World Peace
Social Security
Trafficking
Welfare


UPDATE: Matt Yglesias found that other denominations also believe in social justice.
