Speaking of Rauschenbusch...

Here is a nice summary of the Pope's take on liberation theology. It also serves as a nice rebuttal of the theological concepts behind the social justice movement. The point is not that the Pope is opposed to social justice, but rather that social justice is the result of proper theological formation; good theology forms good ministry, not the other way around.
