“Charity is no substitute for justice withheld.”
“Charity is no substitute for justice. If we never challenge a social order that allows some to accumulate wealth--even if they decide to help the less fortunate--while others are short-changed, then even acts of kindness end up supporting unjust arrangements. We must never ignore the injustices that make charity necessary, or the inequalities that make it possible. ”
“A society with more justice needs less charity.”
“Charity begins at home, and justice begins next door.”
“A society that has more justice is a society that needs less charity.”
“Tolerance is not a Christian value. Charity, justice, mercy, prudence, honesty--these are Christian values.”
