Racism

Protests erupted across the U.S. this year in the wake of the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor. On the evening news, racial tension still appears to be high, but Black Catholics looking at the historic and global perspectives of racism feel encouraged that people are talking about the issue.

The National Black Sisters' Conference issued a "clarion warning" to U.S. Catholics saying church members and leaders have not done enough to speak out against the sin of racism.

"Tolton's Legacy: A Roadmap to Unity," was organized by the Tolton Ambassador Corps, a nationwide group of Catholics commissioned to spread awareness about the significance of Father Tolton's cause for sainthood.
