  • On Stony Ground: the Catholic Interracial Council in The
    On Stony Ground: The Catholic Interracial Council in the Archdiocese of San Francisco Clay Mansfield O'Dell Washington, DC B.A., University of Arkansas, 1990 M.A., Graduate Theological Union, 1994 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Religious Studies University of Virginia January, 2005 ii Abstract The Catholic Interracial Council (CIC) was founded by a Jesuit priest, Fr. John La Farge, in New York in the 1930’s. Fr. La Farge’s purpose in founding the CIC was to promote better relations between black and white Catholics. The group gradually spread throughout the nation in the ensuing decades, and by 1960 a chapter had been established in the Archdiocese of San Francisco. The San Francisco Bay Area was a rapidly growing region that had undergone tremendous social and economic change in the aftermath of World War II, including an exponential increase in the local black population. By the 1960’s, Catholics who joined the CIC had begun to view the group’s mission in light of the growing civil rights movement. Members of the group tended to split between those who advocated greater social action and those who saw the CIC as a discussion group and educational service. As the activists became more vocal, the CIC also clashed often with the archdiocese and the archbishop over such issues as fair housing and fair hiring practices. Many CIC members were also willing to challenge the Church’s record on civil rights, and continued tension led to the archdiocese attempting to regain control over the civil rights issue.
