In new Catholic numbers, an 'imponderable' movement shaping history

[old as dirt]

12. I found this interesting.

If the church in the US tomorrow had to kick out all the Mexican, Colombian, Vietnamese, Korean, Filipino, Nigerian, Ugandan, and Congolese priests serving in American dioceses, not to mention all the religious women from those places, it might as well put a “going out of business” sign on the front door of almost every diocesan cathedral in the country.

Just this morning, you were telling me that my wife is not welcome in the Catholic church, because she comes from a Black Catholic culture in Colombia.

If you are going to kick folks like my wife out of her church just for being Black, you'll need to adjust all of your numbers downward.

Alternatively, we could just accept that the Catholic church is a wonderfully diverse family, which like any family, has has had it's historic squabbles, but in which all Catholics are welcome, even Black Catholics from Colombia.
