I picked up on part of an ABC TV discussion on corporate responsibility last night. (My wife winds up the volume to attract my attention.) Someone from the corporate world was trying to defend it by taking a swipe at the record of the churches on social justice issues. Harry accepted that was true, but came back very quickly with something like “it takes one to spot one!” Good retort!
I'm not sure I agree. The corporate world a) doesn't claim the moral high ground, and b) doesn't believe in their god-given duty to care for others. So even if their moral responsibility is no less, their failure to take issue on social justice matters is surely far less hypocritical.
Additionally, I don't think it's good practice for *any* organisation to seek to avoid blame by blaming some other organisation, and that goes for the churches too.
