What Catholics need to know about Critical Race Theory The Gloria Purvis Podcast

    • Christianity

Is Critical Race Theory compatible with Catholic social teaching? Or, is it an inherently misguided school of thought corrupting the minds of high school and college students about race in America?
Vince Rougeau, the Dean of Boston College Law School and the new president of the College of the Holy Cross, joins Gloria for a candid conversation on Catholic education today, including Critical Race Theory , "wokeism" and lingering systems of racial injustice.
“Not every conclusion that comes out of Critical Race Theory is compatible with Catholicism," says Rougeau, "but how could it be the case that Catholics would not want to engage with an intellectual tool that helps deepen our understanding of race?”
