abstract
This paper presents available statistical data on black Catholics in the United States and examines growth and redistribution trends, including the reportedly increasing number of adult Negro converts to Catholicism. Several exploratory hypotheses designed as guides for further research are developed to account for the appeal of the Catholic Church to Negroes. 1968, Oxford University Press. All rights reserved.
