Social Justice, War, and Housing: How many children could you afford if you and your spouse together, cannot afford, say, more than a two bedroom appointment in the city and, because of your lower paying jobs, are not qualified for a mortgage? What if one spouse gets sick? And what of the shrinking housing stock which raises costs when the government is spending trillions on wars (actual or by proxy), subsidizing wars and weapons Manufacturers, with tax dollars, or in deficit (inflationary) spending? Social Justice matters. The Church has warned of all this especially since the time of Leo XIII and today it is increasingly our reality and, often, dilemma.
