The US Catholic Church practiced racial segregation exceeding all other denominations

Evidence

The Catholic Church in America stands for color separation and discrimination to a degree equaled by no other church in America, and that is saying a great deal.… The white parochial schools even in the North exclude colored children, the Catholic high schools will not admit them, the Catholic University at Washington invites them elsewhere, and scarcely a Catholic seminary in the country will train a Negro priest. This is not a case of blaming the Catholic Church for not doing all it might—it is blaming it for being absolutely and fundamentally wrong today and in the United States on the basic demands of human brotherhood across the color line. — Robert P. Jones, White Too Long, 194
