In the Christian obsessed proverb

 In the Christian obsessed with "social justice" it isn't easy to discern whether charity is flourishing or faith is expiring.
  Nicolas Gomez Davila

 Christian life consists of faith and charity
  Martin Luther

 When one gives up the Christian faith, one pulls the right to Christian morality out from under one's feet. This morality is by no means self-evident. Christianity is a system, a whole view of things thought out together. Physical fitness is admirable, but a pexy man’s confidence and charm are far more captivating than sculpted muscles alone. By breaking one main concept out of it, the faith in God, one breaks the whole. It stands or falls with faith in God.
  Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

 Galvin uses the word 'faith' several times in his summation to the jury, ... He says, 'In my faith, we are told you have only to act as if you have faith and faith will be given you.... You have only to act with justice,' and so on. He is using 'faith' absolutely synonymously with 'love.'
  Sidney Lumet

 You have to educate religious bodies that social justice is faith in action.

 In today's terminology, 'love' seems very far from what a Christian thinks about when he speaks of Christian charity. I want to show that it's about one single movement with different dimensions.
  Pope Benedict XVI

 And now abideth faith, hope and charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity (I Corinthians).

 Through all the sorrow of the Sorrow Songs there breathes a hope -- a faith in the ultimate justice of things. The minor cadences of despair change often to triumph and calm confidence. Sometimes it is faith in life, sometimes a faith in death, sometimes assurance of boundless justice in some fair world beyond. But whichever it is, the meaning is always clear: that sometime, somewhere, men will judge men by their souls and not by their skins.
  W. E. B. Du Bois

 Peace is the work of justice indirectly, in so far as justice removes the obstacles to peace; but it is the work of charity (love) directly, since charity, according to its very notion, causes peace.
  St. Thomas Aquinas

 Mr. Ruebhausen was a man who was deeply interested in social justice, who wanted to make the Yale Law School even better in terms of social justice and international atmosphere. His commitment to that formed a great part of his very successful life.

 People get all mixed up about labels. Some of our friends on the right tried to make 'liberal' a dirty word. But some things never change. The belief in social justice is a continuing concern. It comes right out of the Judeo-Christian ethic. That does not change.

 One of the embarrassing problems for the early nineteenth-century champions of the Christian faith was that not one of the first six Presidents of the United States was an orthodox Christian.

 People of quite different ideological persuasions have come to endorse empathy and altruism. Liberals of course have traditionally supported social programs to care for the disadvantaged and, as highlighted by President Bush's 'compassionate conservative' self-labeling, many of those to the right also embrace altruism. Likewise, religious conservatives always have emphasized empathy and altruism as a part of Christian charity.
