And to think that toward the very beginning of Scripture there is a poignant story about the ill effects of adding envy onto man’s already present sin of pride.
Add to envy and pride…sloth. Knowing that physical, spiritual and intellectual exertion is required yet refusing to work hard…or even work at all.

Art, I’d put it differently. Aristotle recommended definitions as a category (genus) and a differentia (species). Like, “man is a rational animal”. The modern left uses what I think of as negating adjectives. Social justice, trans man, maybe even settled science, the way they use it. Once you notice the pattern you’ll see it a lot.
God endowed man with every gift except infinity. It is up to man to employ God’s gifts to attain heaven.. Mary, the Immaculate Conception maintained her Perpetual Virginity and is our Mother. Mary will help us into heaven.

Social Justice may be measured by the social Justice due to the Infinite Supreme Sovereign Being, God.
Sloth and envy go hand in hand. The poor will always be with us, but poverty is relative depending on where one lives and if one has the ability and help to leave poverty but chooses sloth, then this is a sin unto itself.
There is no such thing as Social Justice. There is only Justice.
