My guess is that black Catholic can attend any church in Pittsburgh, but only black Catholics will be allowed in the black churches. Isn’t that how it usually works. They can segregate, but we can’t.
I’m guessing the Bishop doesn’t know that the word small c catholic means universal.
“..but only black Catholics will be allowed in the black churches”
There’s a wonderful black parish in New Orleans— St. Augustine’s.
It’s in the Treme neighborhood, a fairly upscale area now.
(At least I think it’s still open. There was some talk of shutting it down after Katrina.)
There are jazz masses & all are welcome. Right inside the door is a statue of St. Louis (Armstrong with his horn.)
Some groups get their own stuff plus a share of The Everybody Stuff.
