“Healthy Racism” Is Virtuous
January 8, 2025
THE existence of different races is ordained by God. It is not Christian to obliterate these natural distinctions anymore than it is Christian to obliterate male and female. To care about one’s race, to seek its material and moral good, is not only not sinful, but an ethical obligation.
As Pope Pius XI explained in 1938,“healthy racism” does not threaten the universalism of the Church.
His words are especially meaningful today.
Besieged by non-white “migrants”, by the plundering of its economic patrimony, by anti-family propaganda and by the constant promotion of miscegenation, the white race faces an existential threat. This is already a catastrophe for the entire world. The white race has throughout history been the bearer of civilization and brought untold benefits to other races as long as it was able at the same time to prosper and reproduce. A major cause of population growth and a higher standard of living in Africa, for instance, is the technological developments brought to the continent by whites. More importantly, whites have been the chief guardians of Christian truth. They have brought spiritual progress to untold billions and upon their energy depends the spiritual welfare of other races and the integrity of the true Faith.
Civilization in Ancient Egypt, China, India and Rome was the product of white initiative. Once whites failed to protect their racial integrity and blended with non-white races, civilization fell, bringing hardship and gloom for all.
One of the many errors of the Vatican II sect is its assertion that it is evil for whites to defend themselves. To tell a people that faces genocide that they cannot object is to be complicit in this disaster. Once again we see the modernists making anti-Catholic assertions. One of the glories of the true Church is its recognition of and respect for national differences.
Pius XI’s words recall to mind a nominally Catholic writer on the Internet who has claimed that it is immoral to support any organization defending white interests. Of course, he would not say the same thing about organizations defending black interests or Japanese interests or Chinese interests. No, his contempt was reserved for one race alone. This is an unhealthy racism! For if every other race is busy protecting its own interests and whites are prohibited from doing so, it is only a matter of time before the white race is impoverished, enslaved or even ceases to exist. Where in Catholic theology does he derive this viewpoint? The answer is nowhere.
This kind of virtue-signaling — for white modernists love nothing more than to indulge in a heady guilt trip of racial self-effacement and prove their anti-racist bona fides — is not Catholic in spirit.
