Catholic, Traditional & Black

Here are stories of five people of God whose lives have been dramatically changed and enriched for having discovered the penetrating beauty of Catholic traditional liturgy and the permanence of traditional Catholic values and devotions, which have oiled the lamp through which they seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. These five people also happen to be identified as Black Americans but have been inspired to live their lives through their Catholic faith, rather than through society's race constructs.

"Catholic, Traditional and Black: in Anthology and Discourse, brings together black voices who not only reject the dominant sociological narrative as to identity and cultural experience, but who also defy the common perceptions of what black religious experience is and ought to be. If the current cultural climate trumpets the lie of black sociological uniformity, so too does the dominant understanding of the reality of Catholicism in the life of Black Americans. How timely to have a series of reflections that dispel these myths and provide an authentic voice to the truth of Catholicism to reach through history, culture, and polemics and provide the source of peace and salvation for the whole world." - from the Foreword by, Monsigor Eugenic Morris S.T.D.
