@OrbisBooks author @anthony_pinn is one of the major commentators in this outstanding @PBS series. His book: “The Black Church in the Post-Civil Rights Era.”
The latest documentary series from @HenryLouisGates examines how the Black church has played such a vital role in Black liberation and pays tribute to the often overlooked work of Black women for the Black church. (From @NewsHour) pbs.org/newshour/arts/black-…

Nearly all of them include Dominican saints—dressed identically to the friars who would be viewing the paintings. The viewer was to place himself imaginatively in the scene before him and identify with the attitude of devotion as displayed in the painting itself.

It would be very edifying if such bishops came out and said they disagreed with Catholic doctrine.

Remembering that on Ash Wednesday, Feb 17 1600, Giordano Bruno, condemned as a heretic by the Roman Inquisition, in part for his cosmological views, was publicly burned in the Campo de Fiori, and his ashes thrown in the Tiber. (Ashes to ashes.)
