Progressives use faux social justice to advance liberalism and the welfare state..

Don't be confused. Social justice as defined by the Catholic Church is nothing like the progressives mantra of "social justice." For the liberal Catholic, social justice is synonymous with socialism and the welfare state. It includes forced redistribution of income, "charity" by government, confiscatory taxation, acceptance of abortion-on-demand, same-sex "marriage," radical environmentalism, gender insanity, "equality" through educational brainwashing, etc. It promotes a godless individual autonomy but only when that autonomy conforms to the progressive mindset. God forbid an individual wander off the liberal plantation and think for himself or dare to criticize the "right" to abortion or the "right" to same sex "marriage." Among liberal Catholics the way to "social justice" is through community organizing. It is almost exclusively focused on individual rights, but only to amass power for the organizer. The "social" or society aspect almost disappears.

True social justice from a Catholic perspective begins with the society of the family and recognizes other societies within the state that precede the state and often do things better than the state. Anthony Esolen puts it well:

It's a Sad Christmas for The Sheep in Exile at St. Peter's

In fact, it's a "sardine" Christmas since Fr. Tuck has eliminated one of the Masses (on a Sunday no less) so one can expect to be jammed into the pews with many folks standing in the aisles...unless, of course, they are in-the-know and choose another parish for Mass.

I confess at this point I think Fr. Grinnell has a problem with belief in the Real Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist. According to witnesses, he doesn't bend the knee at the Consecration. One would like to believe he has serious knee problems, but goes skiing on his vacation  so that's a little hard to believe. He eliminated Thanksgiving Mass altogether in favor of an ecumenical prayer service. And now, for Christmas which falls on a Sunday, he eliminates one of the usual Sunday Masses. On Christmas...when people who don't come the rest of the year crowd the pews!
