Justice

Here's a post from Richard Rohr's meditations.

Racial Justice

Scapegoating soon morphs into anti-sinners, anti-heretics, anti-women, anti-Muslims, anti-inferiors (however each culture defines that), anti-Protestants or Catholics (depending on which kind of good Christian you are), anti-gays, anti-indigenous people, anti- people of any color, particularly black people, whom Christians felt free to torture and enslave, and anti- all non-Christians in general.

This big bad lie never stops, even among people who dare to say they are following Jesus who taught them “Whatever you do to the least of my brothers and sisters you do to me” (Matthew 25:40) and “Treat others as you would want to be treated yourself” (Matthew 7:12). We forgot that St. John said, “Anyone who says he loves God, but hates his neighbor, is a liar” (1 John 4:20).
