Institutional Racism And The Catholic Church

Institutional Racism and the Catholic Church will challenge the stereotypical labels attached to Americans of African descent. Institutional Racism and the Catholic Church is a memoir, also reflective of the personal experiences of countless Americans of African descent who suffered under the regressive grip of institutional racism perpetuated by a Christian organization that supposedly was dedicated to justice and equality. Many Americans of African descent succeeded in spite of the racism encountered throughout society, their communities, and which was unfortunately also entrenched within the walls of the institutional Catholic Church. Institutional Racism and the Catholic Church will attempt to shine light on the issue, suggest a model for reform, and open up a discussion long buried by Catholic evangelism policies which were not inclusive, as well as look at current segregated parish formation practices.
