Last year as marches for racial justice proliferated across the United States in the wake of the killing of Black people – especially of George Floyd – by police, Catholics joined many other people of good will to address the injustice and seek racial healing.
The ongoing work “to build a beloved community,” in the words of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., took a new step this week in the form of the Commission on Racial Healing in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, which Archbishop Nelson Perez announced Jan. 18, King’s birthday. ....
