The United States is infected with racism at its core, Cardinal Sean O'Malley says in a letter to be read to Catholic parishioners in the Archdiocese of Boston this weekend.
"George Floyd's death makes clear that racist premises and attitudes, often implicit, are woven through basic structures — political, legal, economic, cultural and religious — in the United States," O'Malley writes.
Cardinal Sean O'Malley, the archbishop of Boston, released a letter about the killing of George Floyd and racism in America on the late afternoon of Friday, June 5.
The letter is intended to be read at Catholic churches in the Archdiocese of Boston on Saturday, June 6 and Sunday, June 7.
