Christians School Glenn Beck on Social Justice

Apparently, Glenn Beck was ranting about how people should leave churches that talk about social justice. He's just nuts. How could anyone rail against social justice? It's irrational. I don't understand why people watch Beck or why they continue to push back. I think he's just punking everyone. At the end of his run, he's going to admit it was all a big joke, a big experiment, and everyone fell for it. If people paid him no mind, he'd simply fall away. Anyway, he apparently has offended some Christians:
Mr. Beck, in vilifying churches that promote “social justice,” managed to insult just about every mainline Protestant, Roman Catholic, African American, Hispanic and Asian congregation in the country – not to mention plenty of evangelical ones.

Even Mormon scholars in Mr. Beck’s own church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, said in interviews that Mr. Beck seems ignorant of just how central social justice teaching is to Mormonism. NYT
