Social justice is equality and fairness for all human beings. It is the subject of many official Catholic teachings and Catholic organization. To understand the reasons for the compassion and love of Catholics seeking peace and justice for all humanity, it is important to look at a specific example of human injustice in today's world. Racial discrimination is prejudiced behavior towards a person based on their race. This is when a person is subjected to abusive behavior because they are of a different race. These actions occur in everyday society because people do not think, act, or believe the same things they do. Racial discrimination makes people feel unwelcome in the condition they were born and raised into. This has serious consequences on that person's life and that of everyone who comes into contact with them, as they may withdraw or even change the way they fit in. This problem causes many people to feel that there is no peace or justice towards them. them, because they are part of the overall world population. The issue of racial discrimination defies certain commandments of God and Jesus. Hitler attempted to commit mass genocide against all Jewish people.

The actions of many people have disfigured the way God intended creation, and by acting in a discriminatory manner, they are not living their lives in the image of God. People have been unfairly treated for actions they did not commit and some have even been murdered in gruesome ways. No one should be subjected to such treatment in any way. Social justice manifests itself through racial discrimination in the way laws and the Church have helped to eradicate this phenomenon.
