Bigotry a sin?

  • I was recently in a conversation with a relative who said some pretty strong things about some people in the news, things I felt were wrong because there was no evidence it was true in this particular incident. He was basing them solely on his preconceptions due to the suspect's race. I told him that it was a sin to be bigoted, that I was pretty sure it was in the scriptures somewhere. And now I can't find it. He says that there is nothing in the scriptures explicitly against bigotry that says it is sinful to be a bigot. I mentioned to him some saints that were dark skinned, but that didn't go very far, since his rejoinder  was that they were rare and the 'exception to the rule'.  Was I wrong? I could use some help here. Verses and quotes from the saints  would be helpful. Or am I just mistaken? Thanks

  • I think bigotry would be a sin if you actually hate people because of their race. But I think most of what people call bigotry today would not be a sin but would be just normal human behavior.

  • St. Moses the Black was from Africa. Dark-skinned? You bet.

    Then in the New World, there is St. Martin de Porres, the Dominican saint.

    There are others, but these are ones that are well known.

    If I am not mistaken, the first black to be converted to Christianity was the Ethiopian who was baptized by St. Philip. This is mentioned Acts 8:27. Was he also a saint? Most likely.

  • The Catholic Church is universal, as its name implies. Every tribe is welcomed into it.

  • The word "bigotry" is a much used world used by the Jєωs that actually causes more harm than good.  It is a cover
    word to prevent discussion of the real threat to racial harmony and a prevent the real threats "Zionist Jєωιѕн Power"
    from being discussed and investigated, that in order to gain power is to cause as much destabilization, conflict, and hatred 
    that would not exist if this subject can be discussed in the open.
    The same can be said by such worlds as "White Supremacist" and indict all White People for slavery when the Jєωs owned
    the Ships that brought the blacks to America.  Many of the wealthy slave owners were Jєωs. Hundred of Thousands of
    Whites died in the Civil to abolish slavery.  Slavery is one of the causes of the cινιℓ ωαr. However  the real issues 
    were unjust tariffs in which the Southern States paid more taxes to the Federal Government than the Northern States.
    Robert E. Lee, the Confederate General freed his slaves before the start of the hostilities between the North and the
    South. Ulysses S. Grant, the Union General and latter President of the United States waited until the passage of the
    13th Amendment to free his slaves. Ab Lincoln was not friendly towards Blacks.  He wanted to ship them back to
    Africa. The Emancipation Proclamation only affected the states in rebellion. there were slave states in the North
    that were not affected.
    The Jєωs initially were against the abolishing slavery.
    All of our ancestors at one time and another were slaves. If you are Anglo-Saxon decent your ancestors were sold as
    slaves at the slave markets in Rome.  Slavery is still practiced in some parts of the world today.
    The Wars in the middle east is fought in behalf of Israel and unless "Zionist Jєωιѕн Power" is exposed. These wars
    will lead to World War Three.

  • Hatred, the sin against charity is the sin. 

    From the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 5;

    23 But I say to you, whoever is angry  with his brother will be liable to judgment, and whoever says to his brother, 'Raqa,' will be answerable to the Sanhedrin, and whoever says, 'You fool,' will be liable to fiery Gehenna.

    The phrase raqa can be a substitute for any gratuitous uncharitable term against anybody.  

    How about sins for those that deliberately orchestrated, planned, and use bigotry, hatred to advance evil
    causes as "World Zionist Powers" so the world will be ruled by one ethnic and a false religious  premise
    that fights against Jesus Christ.

    Sounds like you POCHE.

  • I don't think it is bigoted to make an observation if that observation has evidence to back it up.   You can't deny truth just because it's disagreeable.  It's like the recent terrorist attack in Manchester. was it bigoted to believe it was a muslim?

    Rather than who it is we should be concerned about what is being said. Sins against charity are punished very severely in both Hell and Purgatory. Acts of charity are rewarded by the Divine Master at the final judgement.
