"Let it be very clear, then, that when the church preaches social justice, equality, and human dignity; when the church defends those who suffer poverty or violence, this is not subversive nor is it Marxism. This is the authentic magisterium of the church.
-Óscar Romero

James 1:27 Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.
Boils down Christianity to its essence. Care for the downtrodden and most vulnerable, and don't let yourself become consumed by the petty concerns and pressures of the society you're in.
It really is difficult to remain unstained. Even worse is that people don't want to deal with the downtrodden so that they will not "stray" from their path. The parish priest gave a homily yesterday about the temple of the body, and, how it should be kept clean and neat for when God comes to meet us, just how we are to keep His Church clean and neat for when he takes it up into the heavens.
