DEAR WHITE CHRISTIANS, IT’S TIME FOR US TO LISTEN
It’s unfortunate to see that so many firmly believe that racism is, for the most part, a bygone part of American history. “Sure”, you might say, “there are still racists. But systemic racism? That went away with Jim Crow.” Those who adopt this belief then chastise people who bring race into the conversation, claiming that they are just “race baiting,” “racemongerers,” or “playing the race card.” But behind this belief is a misunderstanding of sin and an unloving posture toward non-white Americans.

ONE OF THE CHURCH’S MISSIONARY SAINTS: NINIAN
Ninian, a Briton of the 4th or 5th century who studied in Rome, is a prime example of missionary fervor, Catholic identity, and internationalism.

Something will be lost no matter who wins November’s American presidential election — something more central to American identity than the dissipating mirage of political unity: the dubious yet traditional form of American civil religion. This form, which has emphasized the role of the United States as a nation marked out by Providence, given a divine mission akin to biblical Israel, may well have died out.
