Catholic Identity and Racial Diversity: A Framework for Catholic Institutions Committed to Racial Justice, Reconciliation, and the Gospel
The Church teaches that diversity is a gift from God—a reflection of the richness of His creation. Human beings differ in countless ways, and yet all are made in the image and likeness of God (Imago Dei).
This backgrounder can help Catholics reflect on why a commitment to racial diversity is rooted in our faith, and why and how Catholic institutions are called to welcome and actively promote and embrace the diversity of human life.
