[Barf Alert] Catholic Charities CEO releases video in support of Black Lives Matter movement, condemning racism

The CEO of Catholic Charities of Eastern Washington released a video late last week expressing solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement and condemning racism.

“We simply cannot stand outside of something as significant as this movement, even though we know full well there may be a price to pay for walking into it,” said Rob McCann, president and CEO of the Spokane-based nonprofit in the video.

Catholic Charities

McCann spoke out about the historical and continued systemic racism of the Catholic church as well as his own bias and contribution to systemic racism.

“For me as a white person, saying I’m not a racist is like saying a fish is not wet,” he said. “In America, racism is no longer a question but rather it’s the toxic water in which we all swim.”

No surprise for an organization whose main function seems to be flooding the US with immigrants for cash.

Just more appeasement like the Vatican did during the Holocaust and their recent betrayal of Catholic Chinese.

You cannot support Black Lives Matter and condemn racism at the same time.

The company I work for has participated in some big charity fundraiser event for many years.

When I was being hired, it was clear that I’d be heavily encouraged to participate.

The charity is Catholic Charities and locally they are committed to helping illegals.

In almost 11 years, I haven’t expended an extra brain cell supporting them.

There is no systemic racism in America.

The only thing systemic is the left’s systemic hatred of America.

McCann is a liberation theology type trained by the Jesuit Volunteer Corps in Latin America. According to the Catholic Charities of Eastern Washington's website and annual reports, they work with Immigration Legal Services, which partners with Justice for Immigrants, a group supported by the USCCB that advises illegal immigrants on how to skirt immigration law.

We should condemn racism, but not support BLM.

I was a Catholic once. My church left me I did not leave it. Today I attend a small and conservative baptist church. I have small differences in their theology. I have no difference with the original theology of my past Catholic Church.

My past church has abandoned its theology under its present socialist quasi Marxist Pope.

I did not leave my church, it left me.

BLM is a Marxist organization whose goal, among other things, is to destroy Christianity and the family. Any doubt just go to their website. Christians are absolutely STUPID for supporting this organization or giving them any credence.
