Introducing ‘Catholic Race Theory’

The highly attentive reader may have noticed, perhaps, a new section on the front-page of The Journal of American Reform. It is entitled “Catholic Race Theory”, a phrase originally coined a few years ago by Stephen Kokx and Daniel Vasko. With their kind permission, they have allowed me to use the term and present my findings on race.

For my formulation, “Catholic Race Theory” is a modern, general framework of principles concerning race and its relationship to true philosophy and Catholic theology, drawn from the writings of Popes, neo-scholastic philosophers and Church-approved theologians.

This presentation is the fruit of nearly two years of intense research, countless hours refining arguments and lots of hard work. It will be the first iteration (certainly not the last!) of my general theory of race in the modern world.

For the next couple of weeks, while I finish — among other things — refining the arguments and adding answers to objections, the page will not be publicly accessible — though it will be in short time, totally free and for everyone.

For paying subscribers, however, this is a chance for a “sneak peek”, doubling as a “thank you” for your financial support to the Journal. I am proud to have earned your support and grateful for your trust in me, as editor. For those of you have been following and supporting this project from its inception, I cannot thank you enough.

This will also mark the time for soliciting constructive and critical feedback, along with receiving formal review from a trusted Priest-friend and, perhaps, a Bishop too.

I cannot wait to get this into the hands of more Catholics!
