An excerpt from the USCCB document – Open Wide our Hearts<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In this regard, each of us should adopt the words of Pope Francis as our own: let no one \u201cthink that this invitation is not meant for him or her.\u201d9 All of us are in need of personal, ongoing conversion. Our churches and our civic and social institutions are in need of ongoing reform. If racism is confronted by addressing its causes and the injustice it produces, then healing can occur. In that transformed reality, the headlines we see all too often today will become lessons from the past.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To do justice requires an honest acknowledgment of our failures and the restoring of right relationships between us. \u201cIf we acknowledge our sins, [God] is faithful and just and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from every wrongdoing\u201d (1 Jn 1:9).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

. Too many good and faithful Catholics remain unaware of the connection between institutional racism and the continued erosion of the sanctity of life. We are not finished with the work. The evil of racism festers in part because, as a nation, there has been very limited formal acknowledgement of the harm done to so many, no moment of atonement, no national process of reconciliation and, all too often a neglect of our history. Many of our institutions still harbor, and too many of our laws still sanction, practices that deny justice and equal access to certain groups of people. God demands more from us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We conclude this event with one final message – a call to action<\/a> by Pope Leo on September 2 – one week ago! <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
