Black and Catholic Confronting a history of pain with a future of hope 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. Father 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 essential reading for all those concerned with justice and healing in our world. Where we've been and where we're going Those who erroneously believe that the BLM movement and Church teachings are in conflict need not look any further than the pages of this book to see the myriad ways the two intersect.

It examines the founders of the Black Lives Matter movement, the churchs involvement with slavery, including the decision by Georgetown University to make amends for its past actions, and the Catholic Churchs response to the recent deaths of Trayvon Martin, George Floyd, and Breonna Taylor. In relating the story of the Black Lives Matter movement through a Christian lens, readersCatholic and otherswill gain insights and a deeper understanding of the movement and why it can help the church, and the country, move closer to racial equality. A passionate call to understanding and action Timely and thought-provoking, these writings of an African American Catholic bishop and theologian open with his statement on the death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO, and concludes with his reflection five years later on that of George Floyd in Minneapolis. These events, five years apart, are the bookends on an ongoing effort to contend with the persistent racial divide and its meaning for the nation and the Catholic Church in America. The Church and the Racial Divide also reveals the ongoing journeyand the gradual personal awakeningof a bishop in response to the challenge posed by resistance to the reality that Black Lives Matter.
