Best Answer

St. Augustine was African, whether or not he was black or not, depends on how you colorize people, I suppose and guessing at the ethnic makeup of certain parts of North Africa. Northern Africa was important in early Church life. Some people there were more Mediterranean or Middle Eastern than Black though. Some of the desert fathers were from Egypt but again, are Egyptians black?

What does the Catholic faith believe about the millennium?

Catholic AnswerThis error, held by a couple of the early fathers, was debunked quite early by the Church, and actually refers to the spiritual reign from Our Blessed Lord's Ascension until His second coming. The literal millennium of ten centuries never had any traction in the Church and was never heard of again until some modern heretics revived it. fromModern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980Millennium.A thousand years during which Christ is to rule on earth, before the last day, based on Apocalypse (Revelation) 20:1-5. Held by some Fathers, such as Justin (A.D. 100-65) and Ireneus (130-299), the millennium is still professed by a number of protestant denominations. The Catholic Church interprets the biblical passage as referring to Christ's spiritual reign in the Church and takes "thousand years" to mean simply an indefinitely long time.


Why did Henry V111 create the Anglican church?

Anglican Catholic View! The Anglican Church is clearly one of the oldest churches certainly in the West, but probably outside Palestine! You have also to remember that the Anglican Church is simply the ancient Catholic Church in Britain. There's no way that Henry had any thing at all to do with creating it! If you doubt my word look at the list of early christian fathers who grant an early provenance. S.Simon Zelotes is one person who is named as bringing Christianity here, S.Joseph of Arimathea is another while S.Aristobulos is named as the Fist Bishop of Britain, or the Church in Britain! What Henry did do, whether he did it intentially or not is a debatable point, but Henry's fall out with the Bishop of Rome, for whatever reason failed to get the English Catholics an invite to the robber council of Trent and preserved them from joining the new Holy Roman Church and becoming a catholic sect!

How many black members does the LDS church have?

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) does not keep records on the race of their members, so there are not official numbers on how many blacks are members of the Church. However, the Church has experienced a lot of growth in Africa as well as predominantly Black areas of the Southern United States over the past 20 years, as well as a lot of growth in Haiti, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and other predominantly Black areas - so there is quite a large percentage of Black Mormons.
