Church Teachings on Racism and Culture
This chapter explores the Catholic Church's teachings on racism, asserting that all humans possess equal dignity based on spiritual principles rather than biological ones. It critically examines ideologies such as critical race theory and their parallels with Marxism, rejecting the notion of societal opposition and emphasizing social cooperation for the common good. Additionally, the chapter critiques the oversimplified link between inequity and racism while advocating for a nuanced understanding of social justice that aligns with Church doctrines.
