You are absolutely incorrect. First of all look at Cross's paper, a lot of what they puts ahead of two-parent households is already mentioned previously, ie social services, so you need to read my comment after the original. Also, not sure if you even read her paper but she absolutely did not say two-parent households were bad.

"Using new Census data and the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, this brief finds that black and white children from intact homes are significantly more likely to be flourishing economically, educationally, and socially on the three outcomes examined here: child poverty, education, and incarceration.

At the same time, consistent with Cross’ research, we do find that the association between family structure and one major education outcome, college graduation, is weaker for black children than white children. Nevertheless, young black adults are significantly more likely to graduate from college if they grew up in an intact family.

Also, never been to church so I have no idea about evangelical talking points.
