The first black cardinal in the Roman Catholic church was Laurian Rugambwa, ordained in 1960. If you are asking about the bird, there are not black cardinals; there is a species of bird found in the Southwestern United States called the Phainopepla that is black and physically resembles a cardinal but is related to the Cedar Waxwing.
