Hi Rurallib,

Interesting thread, but I was wondering how the catholic teachings of social justice differ from the protestant ones. Being an agnostic, or "squishy" as some on this website would call us, I am unfamiliar with any core difference in social justice philosophy. It seems to me ANYBODY with a core concept of social justice, whether they be catholic, protestant or Scientologist should stay away from Trump.
