A Catholic pastor in Indiana called Black Lives Matter demonstrators "maggots and parasites."
That is hideously racist and must be unequivocally condemned.

Systemic white supremacy doesn& #39;t require white hoods and public declarations, and the work of dismantling it will be a long, uncomfortable process of white folks addressing our complicity in and defense of the structures of which we are a part, including our Church.
Every Catholic bishop in the U.S. should be asking how to integrate intentional antiracism training into priestly formation. Every seminary should be including it as a mandatory part of the curriculum. Lay staffers and volunteers should undergo formation as well.
