Deacon James Martin Nobles, O.P., makes it clear and pulls no punches. Christ calls us to be one people dedicated to him and to each other. But the Church cannot be one, cannot be united, as long as racism remains.   

Racism is a sin which disrupts the unity and bond of love which binds us to Christ. 

But racial reconciliation is possible. We cannot merely study racism. we have to work constantly towards reconciling ourselves.  In giving away our privilege and power we enable those who are oppressed and persecuted to flourish and we become more like Christ who gave himself away for love of us.
