It gives me an opportunity to share my thoughts on the happenings in and around the Cushwa Center and to reflect on how the research projects we sponsor speak to what it has meant and still means to be a Catholic in America. For this issue, however, I dreaded writing this note, and its tone is considerably darker than normal. This summer’s revelations in the ongoing clergy sex abuse scandal brought home to me the gravity of the crisis and an awareness that its roots extend far deeper into the church than I had admitted or acknowledged.

Faraone A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin May 2013 ABSTRACT URBAN RIFTS AND RELIGIOUS RECIPROCITY: CHICAGO AND THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, 1965-1996 Dominic E. Faraone Marquette University, 2013 From the late 1960s onward, a sequence of unusually transformative, combustible, and sometimes alarming urban phenomena beset the city of Chicago and bred considerable turmoil and uncertainty: post-industrial transition; street gang activity and unprecedented levels of interpersonal violence; the political ascendancy in 1983 of African American reform candidate Harold Washington to the mayor’s seat; gay liberation; and AIDS. Each accentuated a host of social and/or spatial rifts—between the deteriorating city and comparatively thriving suburbs; the economically impoverished, culturally alienated, and frequently isolated inner city and the rest of Chicago; machine and reform politicians; Black lawmakers and White “ethnics”; sexual majorities and minorities; and the physically sick and the healthy. These developments also challenged the historic liberalism, confidence, and institutional breadth of Chicago Catholicism during the tenures of Cardinal Archbishops John Cody (1965-1982) and Joseph Bernardin (1982-1996).

It assesses the reciprocal impact the Catholic Church and the civil rights movement had upon each other. The goal of this dissertation is to integrate Catholics into the historical narrative of the Selma campaign in particular and the civil rights movement in general. The work traces the history of the Catholic Interracial movement in the United States from its beginnings in the late 1920s through to the rise of the National Catholic Conference for Interracial Justice (NCCIJ) in the early 1960s.
