John Zmirak, Benedict on the Border--A Showdown of Church and Nation-State

TakiMag has Mr. Zmirak's Benedict on the Border--A Showdown of Church and Nation-State, which includes a link to "A Practicing Catholic Considers Why "The Church" Is Wrong About Immigration" by Chilton Williamson.

One question I would ask: How is justice defined and understood in the papal texts mentioned in the latter? Another question--is social justice the same as general or legal justice? What do people mean by the word "justice"?

I should reread Alasdair MacIntyre's Whose Justice? Which Rationality? to see what definition of justice he provides and accepts, if any.
