Catholic Themes
Social Justice concerns itself with our responsibility to ensure that all people are given a ‘fair go’.
Some issues that social justice aims to cover are:
Poverty Child labour Homelessness Refugees Hunger 
Dignity of the human person
Human dignity is the foundation of all Catholic social teaching.
Common Good and community
Humans are sacred and social, we live and achieve together. All humans must be valued in the wider community.
Common good – the goods in society we all have access to e.g. the public library
Option for the poor
Society must consider and help the poor, governments especially.
Questions
Give an example of a community you’re a part of.

What is the major test of moral society?
Some of the major tests are having a Democratic society, that attention to the poor and those with special needs important and does there need to be an equal distribution of wealth?
In what way to we look after the poor?
We as a community donate and we as a nation provide public housing and dole (social security).
