British Catholic Body Warns of Rise in Racism

Filed under: Racism

The Catholic The Universe reports:

The Catholic Association for Racial Justice (CARJ) has warned of the insidious broadening of the remit or racism whereby it has been able to spread fear and intimidation among people of all ethnicities in the UK.

Speaking on Racial Justice Sunday, the Chair of CARJ Margaret Ann Fisken told how "migrants, refugees and asylum seekers, gypsies and travellers all continue to be marginalised and devalued.

"We live in a time of fear and uncertainty," she said. "We must be careful not to encourage or endorse a culture of xenophobia. We must understand that racism will not disappear from our Church or our society without a concerted and sustained effort to oppose its every manifestation."

[...]

"As individuals, as a Church and as a society, we must address these complex issues that have the potential to divide us. We are one human family. We are one race, the human race."


Can someone please fax this to Mel Gibson?
