Jesus wasn't a social justice warrior

Our Church is facing a
situation that is unprecedented
in modern times.

Fully three generations
of its adult members are
un-catechized and the
social order is under
severe stress.

More and more people are rejecting
organized religion in general, and the
Catholic Church in particular.

But as G.K. Chesterton famously
observed, many reject Christianity
without having a clue about what
the Church has always taught.

This is especially true when it
comes to Who Christ is, what
He has done, and why.

In these illuminating pages, Fr. Brian
Mullady, O.P. addresses the gap in modern
Christian knowledge about the nature and
implications of the traditional, systematic
doctrine of Christ.

Modern attempts to separate Christ
from His Cross and to suggest that His
purpose was merely to resist unjust social
structures and provide wise moral teachings
is not only misplaced, but simply false.

This faulty teaching destroys the
unique drama, integrity and ultimate
power of the Christian message.

If we are to imitate Christ, we have to
know and love Who He really is, and not
conform to some modern, comfortable
reimagining of the real Jesus.

Because when we get Christ wrong,
the God of the universe becomes man,
and Jesus merely shows us how to
be more human.

Sin and redemption become “too
negative” for Catholics to accept and
the Church gets reduced to a social
forum, the sacraments to mere
celebrations of ourselves.

Most tragically, the Eucharist becomes
a civil assembly with Christ-as-guru,
rather than Holy Communion
with Christ-as-God.

Such flawed Christology renders
Christianity senseless.

Fr. Mullady speaks with clarity and
authority about the reasons Christ came
to earth, and how His nature promoted
His purpose, which was to redeem
the human race.
