Racism and Social Turmoil

In this difficult time of racism and social turmoil, we offer the below resources: Cardinal Sean O’Malley’s statement on racism, the USCCB’s similar material, and Br. Ray’s talk to students on “Racism, Brotherhood, and Christ.”
Please join us in praying frequently for true justice, an end to racism, and humble strength to follow Christ’s clear command to love our neighbor as ourselves.
“The Catholic Church is a community of people of all colors, nationalities and ethnicities. Catholic moral teaching is based on the fact that all people – without regard to race, religion, ethnicity or nationality – are created in the image of God. This teaching rejects any form of racism, personal or systemic. Our faith calls us to leadership in breaking down barriers and standing against injustice. To violate human dignity is to dishonor the presence of Christ in each person.”
