When this conviction or attitude leads individuals or groups to exclude, ridicule, mistreat, or unjustly discriminate against persons on the basis of their race or ethnicity, it is sinful. Racist acts are sinful because they violate justice. They reveal a failure to acknowledge the human dignity of the persons offended, to recognize them as the neighbors Christ calls us to love (Matthew 22:39)&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Racial Justice Stations of the Cross<\/h3>\n<p>On October 23, 6:30 pm, we held a special Stations of the Cross for Racial Justice.
