Catholic University Speaker Calls for Christians to 'Crucify Their Whiteness'

Perhaps "Beto" O'Rourke studied under him?


 Catholic University Speaker Calls for Christians to 'Crucify Their Whiteness' – RedState   "At Carlow University recently, attendees were taught a lesson in death-to-self.

"The Catholic college’s Atkins Center for Ethics welcomed speaker Miguel De La Torre.

Miguel — a professor of social ethics and Latinx studies at the Iliff School of Theology in Denver — denounced Christians who voted for Donald Trump:

“When eight out of ten white evangelicals voted for a person who is completely against everything Christianity stands for, I don’t know what Christianity they are practicing. But I want nothing to do with that Christianity.”

"With which Christianity does he wish to associate? Presumably, the one committed to certain racial justice — March 3rd’s event was called “Rejecting White Christianity.”

"And on the table lay not only rejection, but death upon a cross.

"If you’re white, he made clear, don’t worry; there’s still hope:

“Those of us who are colored, some of us can also be white. But the good news is there is salvation. … We [who are colored] have to crucify our colonized minds, and for our white brothers and sisters, they need to crucify their whiteness.”

"It’s a novel idea. Normally, Christian optimism comes courtesy of Christ’s crucifixion. But Miguel sees another nailing necessary.". . .

Back to The Old Rugged Racial Justice, I have news for Miguel: He and his message are too late.

The best I can tell, whiteness is already being crucified:
