Social Justice Catholics".

The latter have been known by other names over the years.

Some observations:

The most distinguishing feature about them (though not universal) is the disregard for the sacraments(they don't believe in them as taught by the Church).
Marriage is the most widespread - a sacrament between a man and a woman, and a lifelong commitment except in very exceptional circumstances.
The Eucharist is the real body and blood of our Lord jesus Christ - present through the miracle of Transubstantiation. It seems that many of the Social Justice group do not believe this.
Confession - this seems to be the first sacrament disregarded in regular life
The others follow.

Now again, I have met some social justice catholics who haven't made the full jump.

I suspect that there will be many of the older Baby Boomer hippies of the 60's and 70's who will go that direction, and there were a lot of them. But those orders are dying out it seems because they didn't really believe in what they are doing. They seem ashamed of who they were and ditched their habits and hid their collars. Every one of these Social Justice catholics that I have met has been a liberal and a Democrat (though certainly not every Democrats is Social Justice catholic)..

But the young vocations are coming in good numbers now, and they are markedly more of the orthodox variety.

I hope that the social justice catholics stay with the Church and the sacraments since it is what really defines our faith. I hope that these observations are too harsh, but I thought that I would share them.
