McCann went on to praise the pro-abortion and pro-LGBT Black Lives Matter group as a ‘Christ-like’ movement
June 26, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Rob McCann, President and CEO of Catholic Charities Eastern Washington, recently declared that the Catholic Church is “racist” because Jesus was ‘white.’
“Our Catholic faith tradition was built on the premise that a baby born in a Manger in the Middle East was a white baby. So how can we be surprised to know that we are a church that must still fight against racism even now,” McCann said in his June 19 YouTube “Message to Staff and Clients.”
McCann goes several steps further, however, declaring that the “hard truth” is that every “white person living in America” is a racist.
“For me as a white person, saying I'm not a racist is like saying fish is not wet,” he went on to say. “My Catholic church and my Catholic Charities organization is racist. How could they not be?”
McCann went on to call the pro-abortion and pro-LGBT Black Lives Matter group a “Christ-like” movement.
“Catholic Charities supports Black Lives Matter. 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, we must walk in any way now. In its purest nonviolent form, it is a Christ-like movement that honors the Church's teaching,” he said.
McCann said that his organization will now become aggressive in pursuing its goals that apparently align with the Black Lives Matter movement.
“Only through intentional aggressive assertive action can we truly be an organization that's anti-racist. We must embrace this action and hold ourselves accountable for it if we are to be truly authentic as a voice for human dignity.”

World’s gone mad
One cannot fix born stupid ... Since when does any person select the ‘race’ they will be born? These idiots have a God problem.
Catholic Charities is supposed to deal with social welfare of others not support marxists. They will never reap a penny with this attitude.
This is what happens when agnostic homosexuals permeate the hierarchy. People like this fool get jobs and speak as “Catholic leaders”.
Catholic charities is supported by George Soros.
Really, how does he know? Did he see him personally? What an idiot, and you wonder why the church is in its current state.

Was she white too?
Mr. McCann could have a problem with that. (Or maybe not, considering who is Pope nowadays.)
Good.
The few conservative voices among the higher ups in the Catholic church need to yell even louder.
I don’t need a left wing political organization for my religion.
People are living like animals and twisting and distorting God’s creation of male and female into abominations ...and the church is worried about this nonsense.
The author needs to look at the congregation. It’s not racist at all.
Lunatic.
The hell?
The Catholic church NEVER claimed Jesus was “white”. Unless this racist bigot is claiming that jews are all “white”.
Frankly, I think this comes from the Pope himself on orders from China.
Ping
Ah, US tax payers keep this communist organization flush with cash... We the people are funding this corrupt bunch by the multi-millions ... might even be billions since W Bush signed an EO funding religious charities. We the people pay these charlatans to traffic humans ... Who do you think benefits first under Obama's illegal EO DACA ... ol Roberts sure was not going to go against pappy Francis on that one.
Would NOT all things include the ethnicity of the family from which Christ was to come... Come on Bible Scholars do some homework ... IT is there for any who desire the answers.
annnd the bishop is allowing this why?????????
He speaks his own damnation.
So we have a white liberal Catholic in eastern Washington state declaring that the Catholic Church is racist because Jesus has historically been portrayed as white.
Sounds like he is a late arrival at the virtue signaling party and is trying to catch up.
