Today Deacon Greg Kandra posted the homily he delivered in 2017 after the violence committed at Charlottesville, Va. Deacon Greg serves a parish in Queens, N.Y., in the diocese of Brooklyn.
If you’ve never heard this from a pulpit before, you’re going to hear it now.
Let this be engraved on our hearts: racism of all kinds—white against black, black against white, any one expressing hatred for another because of the color of their skin— is evil.
In Catholic teaching, racism is considered an intrinsic evil—on a par with abortion, assisted suicide and torture.
In moral theology, this means it can never be justified. It is always, under every circumstance, evil.
