    • Abstract:
      The article analyzes systemic racism in the Catholic Church and how racism impacts Catholic identity of African Americans. Topics discussed include parish consolidations in churches, studies on Catholicism in the U.S. and lack of Black Catholics and the complexities around Black Catholic parishes, and how African-American Catholics use the liturgy to incorporate the dual heritages of Roman Catholicism and the African-American religious experience.
