Justice

“the moral virtue that consists in the constant and firm will to give their due to God and neighbor . . . Justice toward men disposes one to respect the rights of each and to establish in human relationships the harmony that promotes equity with regard to persons and to the common good”. It is the calling to respect one’s natural rights, one’s bestowed by God, and acquired rights, one’s bestowed by the state under all circumstances. 

This injustice infringes upon the core values of the Catholic Church holds, or the themes of Social Justice Teaching.Relating this injustice to one of these themes perfectly is impossible because the issue is happening on so many levels that breach the Catholic Social Justice Teachings, culminating into the overall injustice.

Catholic Social Justice Teachings
THE DIGNITY OF EVERY PERSON AND HUMAN RIGHTS

Humans hold the right to be free from exploitation and manipulation because they were created in the image of God.

SUBSIDIARITY AND THE PROPER ROLE OF GOVERNMENT

There are specific duties and tasks that society has the right to rely on governments to complete.

OPTIONS FOR THE POOR AND VULNERABLE

Scripture calls society to put the needs of the most vulnerable in society first, but in the case of this injustice, society is not upholding this expectation
