Healing the Racial Divide скачать fb2

Healing the Racial Divide retrieves the insights of Dr. Arthur Falls (1901-2000) for composing a renewed theology of Catholic racial justice. Falls was a black Catholic medical doctor who dedicated his life to healing rifts created by white supremacy and racism. He integrated theology, the social sciences, and personal experience to compose a salve that was capable of not only integrating neighborhoods but also eradicating the segregation that existed in Chicago hospitals. Falls was able to reframe the basic truths of the Christian faith in a way that unleashed their prophetic power. He referred to those Catholics who promoted segregation in Chicago as believers in the «mythical body of Christ,» as opposed to the mystical body of Christ. The «mythical body of Christ» is a heretical doctrine that excludes African Americans and promotes the delusion that white people are the normative measure of the Catholic faith.
