L.A.’s Gomez: white America is a “myth”

Archbishop Jose Gomez says that the white nationalism that motivated a mass shooting in El Paso, Texas is a sign that the U.S. has lost touch with the Christian ideals of the nation’s founding. But he also emphasizes that the “myth that America was founded by and for white people is just that — a myth” and that America “has always been renewed, again and again, by successive waves of immigrants from every nation on earth.”
