Additional Information
Racism — Racism is a sin, a sin that divides the human family, blots out the image of God among specific members of that family, and violates the fundamental human dignity of those called to be children of the same Father… It is the sin that makes racial characteristics the determining factor for the exercise of human rights. It mocks the words of Jesus, ‘Treat others the way you would have them treat you.’ Indeed, racism is more than a disregard for the words of Jesus; it is a denial of the truth of the dignity of each human being revealed by the mystery of the Incarnation.”
~United States Conference of Catholic Bishops Pastoral Letter on Racism, 1979
Please continue to love, pray, support each other, and remain healthy.
May the Lord bless you and your loved ones.
