is race realism incompatible with catholicism?  i'm thinking about returning to the church but, as an ardent believer in inherent iq and behavioural differences in races that justify segregation, the bible's passages regarding race seem incongruent with my beliefs. examples (with ai assistance): _genesis 1:26-27_: humanity is created in god's image, regardless of race or ethnicity. _acts 17:26_: god created all nations from one man, emphasizing the shared humanity of all people. _galatians 3:28_: in christ, there is neither jew nor gentile, slave nor free, male nor female, emphasizing spiritual equality. _revelation 7:9_: a vision of heaven includes people from every nation, tribe, people, and language, celebrating the diversity of god's kingdom. _leviticus 19:34_: the israelites are commanded to love the stranger (foreigner) as themselves, demonstrating god's concern for the well-being of all people. _matthew 28:19-20_: jesus commands his followers to make disciples of all nations, emphasizing the importance of cross-cultural ministry and evangelism. _romans 10:12_: there is no distinction between jew and gentile, as both have access to god through faith in jesus christ. _ephesians 2:11-22_: the dividing wall between jews and gentiles is broken down through jesus christ, creating a new humanity and a unified body of believers. these passages demonstrate the bible's emphasis on the inherent value and dignity of all people, regardless of their racial or ethnic background. as a catholic how do you reconcile this?
