  Catholic social teaching should matter to Christians on the right because it's a foundation of the gospel. Sometimes I wonder if you guys even read the gospel. It's radical. It's stinging in its criticism of exploitation and hypocrisy, particularly by the powerful. There's a reason for this: the peasantry was getting crushed by the Romans and their Hasmonean collaborators. The Jesus movement arose among the poor and was highly concerned with justice for the poor. It's a prominent feature of the gospel. If you don't like it, maybe Christianity isn't the religion for you.
