American prelate
Wilton Daniel Gregory
(born December 7, 1947) is an American
prelate
of the
Catholic Church
who has been serving as the
archbishop
of the
Archdiocese of Washington
since 2019.
Pope Francis
elevated him to the rank of
cardinal
on November 28, 2020. He is the first
African-American
cardinal.
[1]
Gregory previously served as an auxiliary bishop of the
Archdiocese of Chicago
in Illinois from 1983 to 1994; as bishop of the
Diocese of Belleville
in Illinois, from 1994 to 2004; and as archbishop of the
Archdiocese of Atlanta
in Georgia from 2005 to 2019. He was the first Black president of the
United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
(USCCB). He served as president from 2001 to 2004, when the USCCB issued the "Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People" in response to the sexual abuse scandal in the US Catholic church.
Early life and education
[
edit
]
Wilton Gregory was born on December 7, 1947, in
Chicago
,
Illinois
, to Ethel (
nee
Duncan) and Wilton Gregory.
[2]
One of three children, he has two sisters: Elaine and Claudia.
[3]
Gregory's parents divorced when he was young, and his grandmother, Etta Mae Duncan, subsequently moved in with the family at their home on the
South Side
.
[4]
In 1958, he was enrolled at St. Carthage Grammar School, where he decided to become a
priest
even before he
converted
to
Catholicism
.
[3]
He was
baptized
and received his
First Communion
in 1959, and was
confirmed
by
Bishop Raymond P. Hillinger
later that year.
[3]
After graduating from St. Carthage in 1961, Gregory attended
Quigley Preparatory Seminary South
and
Niles College
in Chicago, and
St. Mary of the Lake Seminary
in
Mundelein, Illinois
.
[2]
Ordination and ministry
[
edit
]
At the age of 25, Gregory was
ordained
to the priesthood for the Archdiocese of Chicago on May 9, 1973.
[5]
[6]
For the next three years he served as an associate pastor at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish in Glenview. In 1976, Gregory began graduate studies at the
Pontifical Liturgical Institute
at the
Pontifical Athenaeum of St. Anselm
in Rome.
[6]
He completed his Doctor of Sacred Liturgy (SLD) in 1980.
After returning to Illinois, Gregory taught as a professor of liturgy at Saint Mary of the Lake Seminary and served as a
master of ceremonies
under Cardinals
Cody
and
Bernardin
.

Episcopal ministry
[

Auxiliary bishop of Chicago
[
edit
]
On October 31, 1983, Gregory was appointed by Pope John Paul II as an
auxiliary bishop
of the Archdiocese of Chicago and
titular bishop
of
Oliva
.
[7]
Gregory received his
episcopal consecration
on December 13, 1983, from Bernardin, with Bishops
Alfred Abramowicz
and
Nevin Hayes
serving as
co-consecrators
.
Bishop of Belleville
[
edit
]
On December 29, 1993, John Paul II appointed Gregory as the seventh bishop of the Diocese of Belleville;
[8]
he was installed on February 10, 1994.
From 2001 to 2004, Gregory served as USCCB president, just the second African-American to head an episcopal conference.
[9]
He had been vice president from 1998 to 2001
[10]
and chair of several committees. During his presidency, the USCCB issued the "
Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People
" in response to
Catholic sex abuse cases
. Gregory was also a board member at the
Catholic University of America
in Washington, D.C.
In 2002, in recognition of his handling of the
sex abuse scandal
with repeated apologies and the
laicization
of priests, Gregory was chosen as
Time Magazine's
Person of the Week.
[11]
In 2003, Gregory stated that the
US Supreme Court
decision on sodomy laws,
Lawrence v. Texas
, was to be deplored.
[12]
Then in October 2020, Gregory was interviewed in an
Associated Press
article which noted "Gregory has drawn notice for his relatively inclusive approach for LGBT Catholics, and said it was essential that they be treated with respect."
[13]
Archbishop of Atlanta
[
edit
]
John Paul II named Gregory as the seventh archbishop of the Archdiocese of Atlanta on December 9, 2004.
[14]
His
installation
took place on January 17, 2005.
[15]
He was the third African-American archbishop in the US; the first two,
Eugene A. Marino
and
James P. Lyke
, were also archbishops of Atlanta.
[16]
Gregory has been active in the church in advocating for the prevention of child sexual abuse by Roman Catholic clergy and religious, and for implementing policies to protect the faithful from sexual abuse.
[4]
He has been one of the leading bishops in the United States regarding this endeavor.
[4]
Gregory wrote a bi-weekly column for the Roman Catholic newspaper of the Archdiocese of Atlanta,
The Georgia Bulletin
entitled "What I have seen and heard".
[17]
In it, he regularly shared reflections about his faith, work, and experiences.
[17]
Gregory spoke out against the 2014
Safe Carry Protection Act
, passed by the
Georgia General Assembly
.
[18]
[19]
[20]
The law permits licensed gun owners to carry guns into many public and private places, including churches, school property, bars, nightclubs, libraries, and some government buildings in Georgia.
[19]
[21]
[22]
The law was supported by the
Georgia Baptist Convention
,
[21]
but opposed by Catholic and
Episcopalian
church leaders.
[21]
[20]
Gregory stated that guns would not be allowed in Roman Catholic churches in Georgia, except for those military and civil service personnel who are required to have them.
[20]
[18]
[21]
He stated that carrying guns in churches places vulnerable individuals, such as children, those who are disabled, and the elderly, at risk.
[18]
[21]
He says it is against Jesus' teachings of peace, and wrote,
"Rather than make guns more available as a solution, we need leaders in government and society who will speak against violence in all aspects of life and who teach ways of reconciliation and peace and who make justice, not vengeance, our goal."
[18]
[21]
[23]
In 2014, Gregory was criticized
[24]
after the archdiocese used $2.2 million from a bequest to build a new archbishop's residence in the Buckhead section of Atlanta on property donated to the church. The residence was designed to also serve as a banquet and conference facility.
[25]
[a]
In March and April 2014, Gregory apologized to parishioners of the archdiocese, saying that he had "failed to consider the impact on the families throughout the Archdiocese who, though struggling to pay their mortgages, utilities, tuition and other bills, faithfully respond year after year to my pleas to assist with funding our ministries and services". Gregory announced that the archdiocese would sell the residence, although he had moved into it only three months earlier.
[25]
[30]
[31]
In November 2014, the archdiocese sold the Buckhead property for $2.6 million, and Gregory moved into a more modest home, purchased for $440,000, in
Smyrna, Georgia
.
[32]
At a 2017 conference at
Boston College
in Boston, Massachusetts, Gregory called
Pope Francis
's 2016
apostolic exhortation
Amoris laetitia
as "document that recognizes the real and serious problems and challenges facing families today, but at the same time it is a proclamation of hope through the mercy and grace of God." Gregory said that Francis "challenges the church and its pastors to move beyond thinking that everything is black and white, so that we sometimes close off the way of grace and growth."
[33]
In 2018, a group of Catholics started a petition urging Gregory to remove "pro-LGBT" Monsignor Henry Gracz of the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Atlanta from his position as a spiritual advisor to victims of sexual abuse for allegedly contravening Church teaching. Gregory declined to do so, saying, "Msgr. Gracz is following the admonition of Pope Francis to accompany people on the periphery of society. His priestly heart is not closed to those who find themselves misunderstood or rejected."
[34]
Archbishop of Washington
[
edit
]
On April 4, 2019, Pope Francis named Gregory as archbishop of the Archdiocese of Washington.
[35]
[36]
He was installed on May 21, 2019.
[37]
The archdiocese comprises 139 parishes in the District of Columbia and the
Maryland
counties of Calvert, Charles, Montgomery, Prince George's, and Saint Mary's.
[38]
In an interview on August 1, 2019, Gregory criticized rhetoric from President
Donald Trump
, saying, "I fear that recent public comments by our president and others and the responses they have generated, have deepened divisions and diminished our national life"; he called for an "end" to "the growing plague of offense and disrespect in speech and actions."
[39]
When Trump visited the
Saint John Paul II National Shrine
in Washington on June 2, 2020, to promote an executive order on religious freedom, one day after the
Donald Trump photo op at St. John's Church
in Washington, Gregory condemned the visit, saying,
"I find it baffling and reprehensible that any Catholic facility would allow itself to be so egregiously misused and manipulated in a fashion that violates our religious principles, which call us to defend the rights of all people even those with whom we might disagree… Saint Pope John Paul II was an ardent defender of the rights and dignity of human beings. His legacy bears vivid witness to that truth. He certainly would not condone the use of tear gas and other deterrents to silence, scatter or intimidate them for a photo opportunity in front of a place of worship and peace."
[40]
[41]
[42]
[43]
[44]
It was subsequently reported that the White House had invited Gregory to the event at the National Shrine before it had been publicly announced, and that Gregory had written that he must "unfortunately" decline the "kind invitation," citing a prior commitment.
[45]
On September 18, 2020, Pope Francis appointed Gregory to serve as the
apostolic administrator
for the
Diocese of Saint Thomas
, a suffragan diocese of Washington.
[46]
After the
November 2020 US presidential election
of Vice President
Joe Biden
as president, Gregory emphasized the need to "engage and dialogue" with the new administration. He noted a "clear divergence of opinions" on
abortion rights
, but a closer alignment of views on "respect for the dignity of our immigrant community"; an end to capital punishment"; and "the pursuit of racial and social justice."
[47]
Gregory said he was "not going to veer" from the long-established practice of allowing Biden to receive
communion
.
[48]
When asked why he would not deny communion to a president-elect who supports abortion rights, Gregory said, "I don't want to go to the table with a gun on the table first."
[49]
Gregory would deliver the
invocation
at the ceremony memorializing victims of the
coronavirus pandemic
prior to Biden's inauguration.
When asked in 2019 by a
transgender person
about whether there was a place for them in the Catholic Church, Gregory responded:
"You belong to the heart of this Church. And there is nothing that you may do, may say, that will ever rip you from the heart of this Church. There is a lot that has been said to you, about you, behind your back, that is painful and is sinful. And so that’s why I mentioned my conversations with Fortunate Families. We have to find a way to talk to one another. And to talk to one another, not just from one perspective, but to talk and to listen to one another. I think that’s the way that Jesus ministered. He engaged people, he took them where they were at, and He invited them to go deeper, closer to God. So if you’re asking me where do you fit? You fit in the family."
[50]
Like his predecessors, as archbishop of Washington, Gregory serves as the chancellor of Catholic University of America.
Elevation to cardinal
[
edit
]
On October 25, 2020, Pope Francis announced he would raise Gregory to the rank of
cardinal
at the
consistory
of November 28, 2020.
[51]
[52]
At that consistory, Francis created him a
cardinal-priest
, with the
titular church
of
Immacolata Concezione di Maria a Grottarossa
.
[53]
Gregory became the first Black cardinal from the United States,
[54]
the highest-ranking African-American Catholic ever.
[55]
On December 16, 2020, he was named a member of the
Dicastery for the Laity, Family and Life
.
[56]
In 2007,
Pope Benedict XVI
's
motu proprio
Summorum Pontificum
widened the availability of the
Extraordinary Form
of the
Roman Rite
. Pope Francis promulgated
Traditionis custodes
in 2021, restricting its availability once more. On July 22, 2022, Gregory promulgated liturgical norms in accordance with the new document.
[57]
The restrictions, scheduled to take effect on September 21, caused consternation and division among some Catholics in the archdiocese because some affected
parishes
have been reliant on parishioners who are attached to this form of the liturgy.
