[edit] Self proclaimed

In the first sentence: "...was the first self proclaimed African-American Roman Catholic priest..."

I'm removing "self proclaimed" from the sentence. It confuses rather clarifies who Father Tolton was. What did he proclaim? He was an ordained Roman Catholic priest. He was an African American. None of those statuses could be self-proclaimed. Yesterday I asked the editor who added this description for his reasoning, (see User talk:Mbrutus#Augustine Tolton) but I did not get any replies. --tess 18:44, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Self proclaimed"

Dear Tess,

Sorry that I took a while. I meant that he was the first Roman Catholic priest to have declared himself of African descent, rather than having "passed."

Sincerely,

Thanks for the clarification. --tess 19:15, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] St. Monica's

Dear Editors,

I have not found so much as a stub relating to St. Monica's or its predeccessor, St. Augustine's. If such a page exists, would someone please be so kind as to give me a link? If not, I believe that the creation of either a new article on the parish or a section of the St. Augustine's devoted to it would be a boon to the topic on Wikipedia.

Sincerely,

If you have enough information, you can get started right here: St. Monica's Church (Chicago).  ;-) tess 19:17, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
