George Augustus Stallings

George Augustus Stallings

George Augustus Stallings Jr. (born March 17, 1948) is best known as the founder of the Imani Temple African-American Catholic Congregation, an African American led form of Catholicism. He had been a Catholic priest, but made a public break with the Roman Catholic Church on the Phil Donahue show in 1989 and was excommunicated the next year. He states he left because the Church did not serve the African American community or recognize talent. Critics claimed he had lived extravagantly and had been asked to seek psychiatric help.

He has regained attention recently due to his association with Married Priests Now! and Emmanuel Milingo. [ [http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/09/27/AR2006092701846.html The Washington Post] ]

Also it is believed he had a relationship with a man since the 1970's whom he put on his payroll of his former church. When seeing him preach he has flaboyantly gay characteristics. He founded the Imani Temple African American Catholic Congregation, a Black cult that allows abortion, birth control, divorce, homosexual activity, women in the priesthood, and marriage among priests. The allowance of homosexual activity is of no suprise.
