Please update the history of the Uraline nuns and their so-call pursuit of diversity. According to a new book by Shannen Dee Williams, a history professor at the University of Dayton -- arguably now knows more about America’s Black nuns than anyone in the world. Her comprehensive and compelling history of them, “Subversive Habits,” will be published May 17. Please refer to the recent article in the AP news at this link: https://apnews.com/article/black-catholic-nuns-history-50a3322de1a7164ece5f47acb267e159

According to her research, One of the oldest Black sisterhoods, the Sisters of the Holy Family, formed in New Orleans in 1842 because white sisterhoods in Louisiana, including the slave-holding Ursuline order, refused to accept African Americans. The principal founder of that New Orleans order — Henriette Delille — and Oblate Sisters of Providence founder Mary Lange are among three Black nuns from the U.S. designated by Catholic officials as worthy of consideration for sainthood.

In closing, as a native Louisiana, Catholic and have members of my family in the religious order of Catholicism. The Catholic Church in Louisiana was historically racist and in many ways remain so today. Despite this a huge number of African Americans in Louisiana are Catholic. This is also a direct result of many slaves forced into Catholicism during slavery. The convents and priesthoods excluded African Americans so please don't exclude the Ursuline nuns from their true slave-owning and exclusionary history. 2601:40F:4000:CEC0:3C12:F1A2:86A:5C66 ( talk) 02:52, 16 February 2024 (UTC) reply
