| | Questioning Bourgeois Secularism |
| | The idea of social justice, including criticism of capitalism as an economic system and the rights of workers to organise as an integral part of Christian morality has been a significant feature of the approach of a strand of Roman Catholic theology in the past 100 years. | | | The conception of human rights, the idea we have entitlements because we are born human, has a pedigree that goes back to the tumult of radical religious ideas of the early modern period, for example the ideas of the Ranters, Diggers and Levellers in England at the time of the Civil War. | | | This has been one of the reasons that 'green' ideas have become more popular and have more resonance in political discourse. |
