What is it like to attend a Catholic seminary as a young, Black man? Fr. Bruce Wilkinson shares his personal and traumatic experience from the 1970s when he made the courageous decision to dedicate his life to God. He was the only Black man in his seminary. Then he was told to leave.
Gloria discusses the importance of human formation at Catholic seminaries: "We need young priests to cry with us. We need them to listen. We need them to be interested in what we're saying. We need them to be unafraid. We need them to join us in the struggle for justice and respect for the human person."
