“Although our nation has moved forward in a number of ways against racial discrimination, we have lost ground in others. Despite significant progress in civil law with regard to racism, societal realities indicate a need for further catechesis to facilitate conversion of hearts. Too many good and faithful Catholics remain unaware of the connection between institutional racism and the continued erosion of the sanctity of life. We are not finished with the work.” - Open Wide Our Hearts 9-10
Every February, we celebrate Black History Month. This month, as part of your observance, consider reading the U.S. Catholic Bishops new pastoral letter against racism entitled “Open Wide Our Hearts: The Enduring Call to Love”. You can find the letter here.
