Continued from page 11A
from a one-night stand...then
I totally disagree with that.
“But, that’s a choice you
have to make because I am
not the one who’s going
through all this pain and
agony,” he said. “That’s up to
the woman herself. So, as far
as I’m concerned, I leave cer
tain things alone.”
For years, Roman
Catholicism was viewed as
the modicum of European
ecclesiastics. But as whites
left the cities, congregations
that used to have their pews
filled to capacity have seen
their numbers dwindle. In
1965, the church updated its
doctrine so that the use of
native cultures in the celebra
tion of Mass were allowed.
The move not only satisfied
Hispanics, but also introduced
gospel music to Mass worship.
Now, the Catholic hierarchy
wants to increase the number
of African American parish
ioners. With only 300 black
Catholic priests across the
country, there is room for
additions.
