Internet People are so cute when they imagine themselves as fearsome.
I had a little parakeet that would fluff it’s feathers when it wanted to look fearsome.
Sweet!

I started them. And again, this is pretty clearly not a welcoming space for Black folks. Was hoping to get a respectful dialog going but it seems clear there is no appetite for discussions on race here.

Dude, get over your (white, Polish) self.
The very second comment (left by someone other than you) on this very thread stated clearly that they are a black Catholic.
Theirs is literally the highest-liked post on this thread. They obviously know they’re as welcome here as any of us (on this thread, more than any of us).
And yet they didn’t choose to indulge your repetitive trawling for their extensive thoughts on race and religion.
That’s their right.
No one owes you the personal answers you keep spamming for, especially when you ignore the answers you’ve already received on other threads.

Stepping away as this is an abject failure to solicit any meaningful conversation about Black Americans and Catholicism. My apologies if you’re reading… I can handle comments like “racist”, “horrific”, “lunacy” etc, and hope you don’t have to do the same.

I agree that stepping away is a good idea.
If there are Black American Catholics who want to start threads discussing their own experience and opinions, I think that’d be great and I hope whatever they have to say will be met with respect and interest.
But yes, the person to start that conversation about a Black American Catholic experience, if that conversation needs to happen, will probably not be a White Polish Atheist who otherwise spends his time here trying to argue Catholics into approving of abortion and disapproving of Mother Theresa.
Hope you sleep well! And Happy Monday to us all tomorrow…

You’re very dismissive and on your way to a suspension with the way you’re carrying yourself on this thread.MNathaniel:

Because, historically, most Catholics in the US were immigrants from Ireland, Poland, Italy, Germany, etc. These people disproportionately migrated to the industrial north for jobs.
On the other hand, most black people (before the great migration) lived in the South, where there were far fewer Catholics and less acceptance of Catholicism.

You sure are obsessed with race. You see people as their skin colour, not as human beings of the human race.
People are more than their skin.
People are more than their skin.

Not black, but a “POC”. Punjabi Pakistani. What’s with the race baiting? I’m Catholic because it’s the truth. Enough said. St. Thomas the Apostle came to us in the beginning of Christianity. I’m not so insecure that when I don’t see a South Asian saint I get triggered. The Catholic Church is just that, Catholic. Universal. I can say my prayers in my native language, in English, or in Latin depending on the circumstances. Go to actual Christian majority African countries and ask them how opressed by the Church. In the mean time, stop race baiting and find a life.

Your’re the OP but the thread is not your private property. It doesn’t belong to you, it belongs to CAF. We are all free to post replies if we choose to.

Maybe you should interview the Archbishop of Washington, He is African American and a convert to Catholicism.
