Vatican City, Jun 5, 2020 / 12:40 pm (CNA).- In response to racism, the Catholic Church should be united in Christ, not take ideological sides, Cardinal Kevin Farrell said at a prayer service for George Floyd in Rome on Friday.

“When the Church makes the words of the Gospel resound, she wants to be faithful to Jesus, but she does not want to take one side against another,” Farrell said during the service June 5.
