Hey natemup! Thanks for putting together a great article here! When I accepted the article, I went with African-American Catholicism because it focuses primarily on the American Black Catholic experience and I didn't want it to be confused with other movements of Black Catholics outside of the US. Feel free to disagree with me as to why Black Catholicism is a better fit. I'm happy to discuss it further here on the talk page. Bkissin ( talk) 13:38, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

While I'm aware that the MOS:CAPS generally says not to capitalize the word, it seems that in this case, common usage would dictate that "Black Catholic" should be capitalized when the words are used together as an ethnic Catholic grouping.
I'm not sure how to seek a consensus on this, though, ( Personal attack removed). natemup ( talk) 03:44, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
According to the article, there have been Black people who are Catholic in the area of what is now the United States since the 17th century. Yet the article introduction only focuses on a radical fringe who, since the 1950s have tried to mix Catholicism with Evangelical Protestant themes, jazz music (!) and socialist politics. The most entrenched and long standing Black Catholic communities (namely, Louisiana) are pretty much ignored in the introduction. No mention of the Louisiana Creole people.

Good to remember that the article concerns African Americans specifically, not Black people generally. Recent edits added a bunch of info near the top of the intro that had nothing to do with Catholicism or African Americans. natemup ( talk) 19:04, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
African and Caribbean descended African Americans are counted as Black in the US census. Given that most Black Americans descended from pre-Civil War slavery (outside of Louisiana and, to a lesser extent, Maryland) are Protestant while those descended from recent immigration tend to have greater percentages of Catholics, it seems irresponsible to leave out pertinent information. 2603:7080:140:F600:7C76:BA13:72E8:3BAB ( talk) 18:20, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
