June 13Read MoreThere have been numerous statements and resources from U.S. Catholic Church sources issued in the wake of the violent death of Mr. George Floyd for which a police officer has been charged with murder and which Archbishop José H. Gomez, President of the USCCB, has called “senseless and brutal, a sin that cries out to heaven for justice."). These statements also address the many protests which began in Minneapolis and now are happening across the USA, including cities in the Diocese of Charlotte such as Asheville, Charlotte, Greensboro, Newton, Salisbury, Statesville and Winston-Salem. This joint statement was followed by the May 31 statement from the President of the USCCB, Archbishop José H. Gomez.
