Overview
Confronting racism is difficult but essential work if we are to heal the brokenness in our society and our church. In the author's words, We all are wounded by the sin of racism . . . How can we struggle together against an evil that harms us all? Racial Justice and the Catholic Church examines the presence of racism in America from its early history through the Civil Rights Movement and the election of Barack Obama. It also explores how Catholic social teaching has been used--and not used--to promote reconciliation and justice. Massingale writes from an abiding conviction that the Catholic faith and the black experience make essential contributions in the continuing struggle against racial injustice that is the work of all people. His book is a must-listen for all those concerned with justice and healing in our world.
