It’s late on Wednesday night before Thanksgiving as I write this (but you probably won’t read this until Thursday morning, like a normal person).

This week in self-congratulatory garbage: A delegation of NBA players traveled to the Vatican for an audience with Pope Francis. The topic? “Social justice,” a phrase so vastly overused and misapplied that it has come to mean nothing. To further illustrate just how defanged the term has become, thes...
