I've been to the former. While I'm sure that the latter exists, I've never encountered one, and never really considered their existence. Where would one find a black Catholic church, anyway?

Fugee/Manfred,
Any "ceremony", be it a graduation, a wedding, a funeral, etc... bores me to tears. I don not like anything (other than a movie or music) which requires me to be quiet and sit patiently for more than 45 minutes. That's my rule - anyone is free to bore me for 45 minutes, but after that, I'm gone. And being a Deist, I don't feel I need to be in any Church/Synagogue/Mosque to connect with the allmighty. Frankly, the five bucks I give to the guy begging on the way to the work every now and again is probably a lot more productive and spiritually healthy than listening to a pile of tired old hymms and watching the pious masquearade about in their Sunday finest.
Life's short. I could get hit by a bus today. Why would I want to waste 45 min of non-work time being bored. If I ain't making some money, enjoying myself or helping others doing something, there's no reason to do it. Ceremonies seem to be stage shows for the common man. I say only those who can entertain should hold the stage. The common man is in the audience for a reason.
