No such thing as “white privilege.” Sorry. Not buying into that propaganda.
 
See my reply to Pnewton. Basically, what he was preaching was a toxic secular ideology, not Catholicism and inserting political talking points in a liturgical format like that is inappropriate, not to mention alienates good, faithful Catholics who do not subscribe to that particular ideology.
 
Anything in the Catechism that supports the notion that white privilege is even a thing? Or that it is okay to meld the liturgy with political talking points that you do not have to accept to be a good Catholic? What about all those faithful Catholics who do not accept this is a white supremacist country or that they have to renounce their so-called “white privilege?” Are they supposed to just sit there and nod along to a priest asking that they affirm something that one does not have to believe to be a faithful Catholic?

But, I guess it is pointless to try persuade someone whose activism is essentially their religion.
 
The academy has Infected every part of society. Their relentless activism and propaganda has ruined everything from movies to sports.

The term white privilege is a racist attack. Privilege cuts across all racial lines. If the priest is concerned about racial justice maybe next time he can read out loud the statistics on black on white violent crime.
 
That is what it reminded me of too, the Baptismal promise that is done each year but it is done during the mass.

There are three bowls on the altar and a candle. As discussed earlier, would this not all be put away? It was posted that it took place after communion but before the final blessing.

It’s beyond disturbing IMO. I attend a TLM parish, so you don’t ever see that sort of thing there. I liked what Bishop Strickland said. That if this would have happened in his diocese, a lot of the parishioners would have gotten up and walked out. I certainly know I would have.

I have not seen it during a mass but sometimes after the final blessing, the pastor will make an announcement of sorts. Not about racial disparity but on something happening at the Church or school. Even those occasions are rare.

But he did not say that. He said that white supremacy must be dismantled where it is present. Surely you do not believe that we are free from white supremacy in America. It still exists, I assure you.

Well, that is an opinion. I guess all have them.

It amazes me that anyone here thinks racism is some how solved. Admittedly it does not exist in every corner of the country, but this priest is in NYC and racism is a real issue in his parish. He was not addressing the country. He was addressing his parish. In other words, if you do not agree, he may not have been talking to you.

Yes, economic inequity has a lot more to do with privilege, as a whole. But again, he was addressing the issues that affect his parish.

It wasn’t his parish. Again, not all parishes have the same issues. I am really surprised a bishop does not acknowledge that this could have been a problem in NYC, and not everywhere.

LOL - I just looked this up and he is the bishop of Tyler! I assure you, that is not New York City. That is so funny. I should have guessed.

Give an example. As fair as I know, the only form of illegal and acceptable racial discrimination in this country is affirmative action, which is systematic racism against whites and Asians in favor of blacks and non-white Hispanics. Tell me, why would something like that fly in a white supremacist nation? And why would a white supremacist nation elect a black man twice? Or have so many people in power scolding white people constantly over their supposed privilege?

Really, white supremacy is really just the latest boogie man. I remember before 2016, when one thought of a white supremacist, you’d think of a basement-dwelling weirdo or someone in a prison gang that really was not much of a threat to wider society. Now, suddenly white supremacy is everywhere. Why? Because there are people who need the race issue to never go away to stay in power.

If he would have done it in Timbuktu it wouldn’t have made it right. What he did was completely inappropriate in any diocese IMO. It’s almost like he’s reinventing, and putting his own spin on the Renewal of Baptismal Promises recited at the Easter Vigil!

V. Do you reject Satan?
R. I do.

V. And all his works?
R. I do.

Strictly political. And certainly not my brand. As I said in my previous post, I would have gotten up, and walked out. And I can assure you, the following week I would be attending Mass at another parish from then on.

Does that include racist thoughts against white people like “white privilege”?

Here is some more:

East Asians, Indians, immigrants from Nigeria, Caribbean making as much or more per capita than whites.

Non white millionaire celebrities, athletes, business people.

People in commercials are 80 percent non white, mixed or interracial relationships. Non whites overrepresented in tv, news, movies.

Whites, especially males, are negativity portrayed in the media and are the butt of jokes in commercials and mostly the bad guys in tv shows and movies. Plenty of interracial couples with the plot being bad white male abusing white female with non white male coming to her rescue.

At at least some vacation spots I’ve been to, among people under thirty or forty for every white couple there about were seven white/non white couples.

Most of the advertising placards in stores and billboards and magazine ads are non white people.

Non white president, governors, mayors, council leaders, district attorneys, police chiefs.

Non whites overrepresented in government including post office.

Affirmative action, quotas, diversity beuracracy, college courses and best selling books stereotyping and slandering whites.

Non whites driving nice cars, going to nice restaurants, expensive clothing.

A rope was found in a nascar garage and immediately ten FBI agent go to investigate. While across the country “kill whitey” is spray painted on monuments and buildings and it’s ignored.

In 2019 miss America, miss USA, and teen Miss USA were all black (also miss world and miss universe)

The majority of immigrants the last fifty years are non white.
