The Church in America is called not only to promote greater integration between nations, thus helping to create an authentic globalized culture of solidarity, (204) but also to cooperate with every legitimate means in reducing the negative effects of globalization, such as the domination of the powerful over the weak, especially in the economic sphere, and the loss of the values of local cultures in favor of a misconstrued homogenization.
Ecclesia in America, par. 55, Pope John Paul II, 1999.
The Racial Justice Commission of the Camden Diocese embarked on a mission, “Many Faces in God’s House,” to foster appreciation for the cultural differences within parishes and to encourage our church to focus on God’s love and his call for each of us to love one another. Another goal is to share Catholic social teaching on racial justice and immigration.
