A profile of a progressive leader in the Catholic Church working for racial and LGBTQ justice
The Reverend Bryan Massingale stands at the front of a small conference room on Fordham University’s Rose Hill Campus in the Bronx. He is teaching a course on African American religious ethics and begins the day’s lesson with a question: “What have religious ethicists said about Black love?” It is December 2019 and we are in Duane Library where he teaches. He continues without interruption: “White supremacy impacts the way we love.” Some of the students are quickly typing notes on their laptops, others nodding in approval. Like everyone in attendance, I am enthralled. For almost 20 minutes, he lectures but does not proselytize, and concludes by asking his students to ponder: “How do we have conversations about what it means to love and be loved as Black people? What would it mean to prioritize Black love in the context of Christianity?”
Father Massingale, one of the world’s leading Catholic social ethicists and a prominent African American theologian, has been a professor at Fordham since his arrival from Marquette University in 2016. I visited his class and encountered a space where his students, a majority of whom are white, are able to engage in complicated discussions about race. “I teach classes on sexuality, race, and what I tell my students, especially when talking about race, is that we’re going to have a very honest, open conversation about issues that no one in this room is skilled at talking about,” he tells me after his class ends. “Part of being in American society is we’re not skilled at talking about race in an interracial situation. So, what that means is that we’re going to have to allow each other some freedom here to get it wrong........

Why do Jesuit colleges and universities still pretend to be Catholic? What decent person would spend $70,000/year to send their child to one of these agnostic, heretical places?
Fighting for the church, when he has forgotten to surrender to God. Sad, and very destructive for the sheep who follow
In other words, a degenerate and a pervert. How many boys has he abused?
Reminds me of George Stallings here in DC. What a mess that was.
What a douche.
He is NOT fighting for inclusiveness. He’s fighting to destroy Christianity.
Lev. 18:22, “You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination.”
Lev. 20:13, “If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltness is upon them”
1 Cor. 6:9-10, “Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God.”
Romans chapter 1 is probably the clearest new testament scripture condemning homosexuality.
You CANNOT be a PRACTICING GAY and be a PRIEST!! You are BREAKING GOD’S LAW!
He is NOT an ETHICIST!!!
“Father Massingale, one of the world’s leading Catholic social ethicists...”
Said no one of consequence ever.
He fits right in:
No thanks!
I’ve met enough Laodicean “church” members lately to last eternity.
Maybe because Soros and the globalist threw Benedict out to replace him with the first communist Jesuit Pope, Francis.
Massingale? As I recall, that was the brand name of disposable douche. Seems fitting.
