A concern for social justice is as widespread as it is contentious. This book documents the changing nature of social justice within the Australian Catholic tradition. Believing social justice to be both culturally and historically specific, the author analyses key periods in Australia's history, revealing the concept's growing complexity. While many authors have chosen to maintain the division between church and state, Michael Hogan directly addresses the Australian political system in his analysis. Refuting the belief that social justice is fundamentally a religious concern, Hogan's definition "implies a vision of a just society for all people, not just members of one's own church."
