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.
