On the latest episode of
Catholics Across the Aisle, Danielle M. Brown, Esq., associate director, USCCB Ad Hoc Committee Against Racism gives us an inside look at her role and what the committee is striving to accomplish. She explains that addressing racism and the injustice it produces relates to our core beliefs as Catholics. "It is crucial that Catholics understand that the racial justice work that the USCCB is doing, that the Catholic Church should be doing, is not because it is the sexy thing right now. It is not because the Catholic church is trying to be woke," says Brown. "It is because this is an issue that is a definite block to people's access to the gospel, our ability to proclaim the gospel with truth and in love. And, it affects our Christian witness when the Church or any person or people have a black eye because they can't seem to get relating to everyone as brothers and sisters in Christ."
