When Will Catholicism Have African American Saints?

Frustrated with a church that didn’t reflect his identity, Ralph Moore went into St. Pius Church in West Baltimore late one night with his friends and painted the statues of Jesus and Mary black -- a "parting shot" before he left Catholicism. He recalled a Stations of the Cross depiction -- painting Jesus Black but leaving white the Roman soldiers abusing him, tugging at his clothes. To Moore, this was a statement on Black liberation.
