Peace be with you. The Anti-Racism discussion group Committee (ARC) of the parish met via Zoom November 18, 2020 to reflect on the Augustinian province 11/11 webinar on “Augustine on Catholic Social Teaching as Applied to Racism/Black Lives Matter.” One of the aspects we discussed was how to apply "fraternal correction" from the Rule of Augustine: How might we be called to speak up, to "correct" when a friend or family member makes a racist comment? One might lovingly "correct" another, saying "My Catholic faith informs me that God loves everyone, so I would appreciate it if you refrain from making that type of hurtful comment."
