Central Campus Drive, Salt Lake City, Utah 84112. Copyright © 2008. All rights reserved Rocky Mountain Communication Review Volume 4:1 Winter, 2008 Editor’s Note from Sara Mathis, 2007-2008 Congratulations! This issue marks our first ever Winter issue and our move to a semi-annual publication. We are thankful to our authors, reviewers, Executive Board, and most especially the graduate student community whose continued support is helping RMCR excel to new levels. Our submission rates have tripled, our Reviewer Board and Executive Board have expanded, and the scope of scholarship published has broadened! RMCR is quickly finding its niche as an online graduate student journal that produces quality research as well as serves as a resource for graduate students. As always our goal is to publish a diverse body of quality research and this issue is no different. First, our premiere article written by Matthew Grindy, Civil Rights and the Red Scare, provides an exemplary book review and essay on how the civil rights movement can be read through the context of US anti-communist hysteria during the Cold War. Through the identification of several themes present in the three books he reviews, Grindy offers implications for further studies in historical revisionism, public memory, and critical race theory. The publication of this essay is particularly noteworthy as it is a tribute to Matthew’s scholarly prowess, but also his personal perseverance in the face of adversity. Sadly, Mathew lost his battle against bone cancer in February 2008. In From Faithful to Heretics: The Catholic Church’s Response to the Voice of the Faithful, Brian Kaylor renews attention to the Catholic priest abuse crisis which has garnered wide spread media attention over the past 5-7 years. Kaylor offers a rhetorical analysis of how The Voice of the Faithful (VOTF), a group who emerged from within the Catholic Church and criticized the handling of the scandal, were subsequently constructed and (re)defined as heretics by authorities within the church. Nicholas Bowman’s A PAT on the Back: Media Flow Theory Revis(it)ed provides the reader with a well needed synthesis of the literature and theory about media flow. As our amount of leisure time has increased, mass media scholars are continuously debating the psychological aspects of the media entertainment industry’s influence on its consumers. Bowman not only brings together contemporary opinions about media flow theory, he also theorizes how a systems-based framework can further research in understanding the appeals of the mass media as a source of leisure. In his film short, “Director’s Cut,” Ru Wood addresses issues of narrative authority and creative ownership. This piece critiques unscrupulous directors and their power to edit raw footage to fit their vision. However, it also challenges contemporary conceptualizations of truth. We are pleased to offer you this piece as the first publication in our Special Sections and Alternative Scholarship division. Likewise, this issue’s Graduate Student Life section continues RMCR’s effort to offer timely and unique insights from graduate students about challenges faced by graduate students as both scholars and emerging members of an academic community. Elena Esquibel and Robert Mejia’s, “Bridging the Gap: The Performance Ethnography as a Form of Community Building” addresses both the institutional and cultural challenges faced by activist academics and offer timely insights into ways these challenges may be negotiated. Focusing on the performance ethnography as one form of scholarly engagement with rich potential for activism, Esquibel and Mejia offer valuable insights and signal important concerns for scholars concerned with integrating political consciousness with academic inquiry. In closing, I would like to emphasize that this issue could not have come to fruition without the creative capabilities of our new Executive Editorial Board, Michael Middleton, Nicholas Russell, Samantha Senda- Cook, & Daren Brabham. This issue is not the product of one editor or one individual, it is the product of a true team! Thank you also to our outstanding Review Board, who continues to provide in-depth, expert and timely reviews in order to support this journal. RMCR has come so far in this last year, it has been a pleasure and honor to be a part of its progress. 2 Civil Rights and the Red Scare Rocky Mountain Communication Review Volume 4:1, Winter, 2008 Pages 3-15 Mathew A Grindy In an effort to reframe the boundaries of existing literature on the United States Civil Rights Movement, several scholars have positioned the era within the larger context of the Cold War and anti-communist hysteria in the United States. This essay reviews three texts on the subject: Dudz- iak’s (2000) Cold War Civil Rights: Race and the Image of American Democracy, Borstelmann’s (2001) The Cold War and the Color Line: American Race Relations in the Global Arena, and Woods’ (2004) Black Struggle, Red Scare: Segregation and Anti-Communism in the South, 1948- 1968. Each book handles the Cold War context from a different vantage point, including domestic legal infighting, geopolitical relations, and the rhetorical landscape of the American South. The essay identifies three common themes in the texts. First, each text examines how the Cold War context shaped the Civil Rights Movement with specific attention devoted to different geographi- cal locales: international, U.S.-national, or U.S. South-regional. The second theme identified in the texts is a fear of an ‘other’ as a common stimulant for social change or resistance to it. Fear of communism/communists, outside agitation, integration, and international embarrassment were the primary motivators behind U.S. Civil Rights legislation. The third theme explores how the Cold War-Civil Rights link interrupts the dominant narrative of the Civil Rights Movement whereby society changed as a result of progressive altruism. This last theme is framed within a discussion of historical revisionism, with specific implications for public memory and critical race theory research. The main argument of this essay is that these themes reveal the need for additional com- munication-based critical analysis of the link between Cold War anti-communist sentiment and the U.S. Civil Rights Movement. The essay concludes with an analysis of how the reviewed texts are significant to future research, particularly rhetoric and the Civil Rights Movement. Introduction White woman, Carolyn Bryant.

    CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TRANSITIONAL JUSTICE AND THE LEGACY OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH Elizabeth B. Ludwin King* I. INTRODUCTION In 1998, John Geoghan, a Massachusetts priest, was defrocked— stripped of any rights to perform as an ordained priest—for molesting children.1 Four years later, the Archbishop of Boston, Bernard Law, arguably one of the most influential people in the state, resigned from his position upon revelations that he knew of Geoghan’s actions and yet chose to send him to other parishes where he would still be in an environment with minors.2 In other parishes around and outside the United States, similar scenarios were, and had been, occurring for years: priests using their positions in order to engage in sexual acts with minors.3 When survivors began to speak up, they and their families were often offered “hush money” in order to prevent a scandal.4 Although the sexual abuse crisis came to the forefront in 2002 due to the investigative journalist team at the Boston Globe, reports of the sexual abuse of children by members of the clergy had been * Adjunct Professor, University of Denver Sturm School of Law.

  • A History of the National Review Board
    A History of the National Review Board By Michael R. Merz A History of the National Review Board by Michael R. Merz Preface The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops commissioned this history in November, 2009, “to serve as an internal chronology” of the National Review Board. Its intended audience is present and future members of the Board, the Bishops’ Committee on Child and Youth Protection, and members and staff of the Conference. Because of a policy of rotating NRB members, there were no members in 2009 whose personal memories covered the entire history of the Board. Those changes, as well as appointment of new bishops and new members of the CPCYP and staff at the Conference make this history necessary. Hopefully it will be useful as an index to the people who have served on the NRB, the issues they have confronted, and their interactions with the Conference and its bishop members. The author served on the Board from October 2004 until June 2009, acquiring many personal experiences and reactions to events in the NRB history, many of which are reflected in this history, which ends with the June 2009 meeting of the Board. Nevertheless, this is not an interpretive history; the author was cautioned not to editorialize. Although this is a straight factual chronology, the author believes readers will be able to draw useful lessons from it so that the Board’s successes during its first seven years can be built upon and its less successful approaches can be avoided. Sources Information for the period from the adoption of the Charter to November 2004 is taken from the Board’s archival files at the USCCB and from Justice Anne Burke’s papers from her Board work, on deposit at DePaul University.
