Race in the American Catholic Imagination | Bishop George Murry, S.J.

Bishop George Murry, S.J., bishop of Youngstown, OH, has been appointed to chair the recently established Ad Hoc Committee on Racism of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. Bishop Murry delivered a public lecture here at Boston College entitled "Race in the American Catholic Imagination."

Upon his appointment, Bishop Murry commented, "For too long, the sin of racism has lived and thrived in our communities and even in some of our churches. For those who have been watching, even with passing interest, it should be plain to see why we need a concerted effort at this moment.”

RIP Bishop Murry you were an icon to Black Catholics all over the world. You inspired me to be a better Christian. You will be missed.

It would be good to have a written transcript of this history of racism within the Catholic Church. Thank you Bishop Murry!
