"...[O]ne of the reasons our country has so few canonized saints is because many of our Catholic clergy, religious & laity betrayed Jesus Christ through their participation in the grave sin of racism."

This is non-sense, since it presupposes that these individuals are saint. We have no way of knowing this except by the procedure of canonization, a procedure, which has shown itself capable of being compromised not just be racism. Racism, it is true, induced skepticism about the majority of humanity being human except those of European origin.The question, however, is why so many Christians in communion with Rome fell into that trap, when the Bible says: "God created man," not white man, brown man or black man? One of the synodal meetings in Baltimore wondered based on that skepticism imposed upon Scripture whether the blessed sacrament should be given to Blacks, out of fear of violating the scriptural injunction not to scatter pearls before swine or give what is holy to dogs. After the Pope abolished slavery, the Society of Jesus, Maryland province, sold its slaves instead of manumitting them, which was surely the Holy Father's intent. In any case, we have seen under the Bergoglio papacy and even before that canonization can be a "con-job." Hence, its just as well that these sincere souls pictured escaped the process. Not via Bergoglio the present pope, God is bringing down the entire edifice. I cheer him on in filial obedience and in hope of the Parousia.
