Why are there so few African American bishops? ‘The short answer is racism’ says Bishop Boxie (opens the original)
Read excerpt
(ROME) CNS — If Bishop Robert Paul Boxie was selected to become a bishop just because he is Black, he said he is comfortable with that. “Some people may believe I’ve been selected, picked, because I’m Black,” he said in an interview with Catholic News Service’s ‘Vatican Access.’ “I’ve thought about this, I’ve reflected on it, and you know what, I’m actually OK with that.” One of the newest bishops Pope Leo XIV appointed in the U.S. said racism remains an undercurrent in the Catholic Church, reco

ROME (CNS) — Cardinal Robert W. McElroy of Washington said his decision to remove a high-profile priest as an archdiocesan exorcist was driven by the public way he exercised his ministry, not by his specific beliefs about UFOs.
