I'm sure that if a baker refused to bake and decorate a cake as a confederate battle flag there would be no judge saying make that cake.
If only because your average Confederate would just shrug and go find another baker, rather than whining and demanding that the first baker be forced to validate their life choices.
Tyranny. That is what Social Justice amounts to.What on earth is "Social Justice?" What does it mean to you? Why does the left want to advance this idea?
I beleive that Adolph thought the same thing. I"ll drag them out of the 19th Century into the 20th whether they like it or not.Social Justice. Making one race feel guilty while propping the other up on a pedestal. Racism, in other words. White guilt, affirmative action. Making same sex marriage superior to heterosexual marriage, suspending a man for insulting gays...
Social Justice. Because the only way for the left to advance an idea is to force it on you.
Of course the other side of that is that some people have to be dragged kicking and screaming into the present century, always have, people like you who think things should just stay like they were when your grandaddy was pup have always stood in the road to perfecting our union.

The problem is, progress doesn't always turn out the way the advocates intend it. i.e., Obamacare.
Social Justice. Just another name for tyranny.
It is debatable, however many of us do indeed view religious freedoms (or lack thereof) as a social justice issue.Well, there are some fundamental liberties that we take for granted such as freedom of Religion and the right to bear arms. There are many places around the world where you cannot enjoy these freedoms. You could even get killed for belonging to the wrong faith.The first 10 amendments, aka the Bill of Rights, are actually restrictions and limits on the fed... not something that government enforces against one citizen because of another
Here we do have the Bill of Rights, but we need to enforce it. That for me is social justice. For instance one should not have to choose between giving up his faith or going to jail. We've seen this recently with the baker that was forced by a judge to bake gay wedding cakes even though it falls in conflict with his faith.
It is only enforceable against the government... not against citizenry.. they are limits for the government.. not some social justice contract.. there is indeed NO mention or even hint of 'social justice' within the constitution
In his March 12 column, Washington Post writer E. J. Dionne Jr. attempts some fraternal intimidation of the Catholic bishops of the United States prior to the meeting of the bishops conference administrative committee on Tuesday and Wednesday. The argument, such as it is, doubtless reflects certain currents of thought within the Church in the United States those currents that are deeply uncomfortable with the bishops emphasis in recent years on a robust assertion of Catholic identity. But that is about as much as can be said for it; as a matter of theological or political reasoning, its pluperfect nonsense.
Dionne warns the bishops that, if they do not back off from their strong defense of religious freedom and find some way to reach agreement with an administration he insists is trying to accommodate their concerns, they risk becoming a church that no longer stands for both life and social justice. Worse, they risk becoming the Tea Party at prayer.
What this tack conveniently ignores is that, in a Catholic understanding of public life, religious freedom is a social-justice issue.
Religious freedoms is indeed a social justice issue. Please see prior post ^^^^^.Well, there are some fundamental liberties that we take for granted such as freedom of Religion and the right to bear arms.

Gay wedding cakes?
Such a weak argument. Have you actually given that subject some thought? What crazy things could someone do.....or refuse to do....in the name of their faith?
Absolutely. Religious freedoms should not be negotiable.When you have to choose between baking gay wedding cakes or going to jail, that is not social justice. The judge in this case acknowledged that baking the gay wedding cake would be in conflict with the baker's faith. However he still ordered him to bake the cakes. The baker has since said that he will likely go to jail than abandon his faith.Gay wedding cakes?

This is not social justice.
it is a classic example of INjustice by the government
You're correct. However a lack of Religious freedoms can also be interpreted as a social justice issue.Social justice is also recognizing the sanctity of human life.
Sorry, but you're actually talking about traditional justice, not social justice.
At this critical moment in history, there are two social justice priorities for the Catholic Church in the United States: the defense of life at all stages and in all conditions, and the defense of religious freedom for all. During this Fortnight for Freedom, in which the U.S. bishops are calling all Catholics to pray and work for religious freedom, it’s important to reflect on the linkage between these two great causes.
As the language of the First Amendment to the Constitution indicates, religious freedom in the United States has always been understood as one of a cluster of fundamental freedoms—spheres of free thought and action essential to individual liberty and civil society. That idea of constitutionally limited government—a government that makes no theological judgments (religious freedom), that does not control the media (freedom of the press), that does not control thought and culture (free speech), and that does not occupy all the “space” in society (freedom of assembly)—rests, philosophically, on the premise of fundamental human equality.
I believe that social justice should allow for fundamental liberties such as freedom of religion as well as freedom to keep and bear arms.Enforcement of the Bill of Rights within the constitution.
How the heck did you come to that conclusion?
