Beyond Words: Racial Justice and the Catholic Church Book Study

Wednesday, February 10, 2021, 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM

Repeats every Wednesday until February 10, 2021

Location: Virtual via Zoom

After answering the question What is racism? at some length, Fr. Massingale, a black priest and moral theologian, delves into Catholic history on the issue, taking apart three documents on racial justice from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishop. To improve Catholic engagement in racial justice, Massingale proposes using such resources as the tradition of the practice of lament, compassion, solidarity, conversion, baptism, and Eucharist. The author's moving personal reflections add a human face to his message, which readers who have a heart for social justice will no doubt find to be prophetic. Join us as we delve into the poignant issue of racism and what we are called to do as Catholics.
