To oppose this religious apartheid and challenge the church to minister fairly to all of its faithful, a group of Chicano priests formed PADRES (Padres Asociados para Derechos Religiosos, Educativos y Sociales, or Priests Associated for Religious, Educational, and Social Rights) in 1969. Over the next twenty years of its existence, PADRES became a powerful force for change within the Catholic church and for social justice within American society. This book offers the first history of the founding, activism, victories, and defeats of PADRES. At the heart of the book are oral history interviews with the founders of PADRES, who describe how their ministries in poor Mexican American parishes, as well as their own experiences of racism and discrimination within and outside the church, galvanized them into starting and sustaining the movement. Richard Martínez traces the ways in which PADRES was inspired by the Chicano movement and other civil rights struggles of the 1960s and also probes its linkages with liberation theology in Latin America. He uses a combination of social movement theory and organizational theory to explain why the group emerged, flourished, and eventually disbanded in 1989.Civil rights workersUnited StatesHistory20th centuryPolitical activistsUnited StatesHistory20th centuryPriestsUnited StatesPolitical activityHistory20th centuryMexican AmericansCivil rightsHistory20th centuryCivil rights movementsUnited StatesHistory20th centuryMexican AmericansSocial conditions20th centuryChurch and social problemsCatholic ChurchHistory20th centuryCivil rights workersHistoryPolitical activistsHistoryPriestsPolitical activityHistoryMexican AmericansCivil rightsHistoryCivil rights movementsHistoryMexican AmericansSocial conditionsChurch and social problemsCatholic ChurchHistory267/.24273/0896872Martinez Richard Edward1968-1551471MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777675803321PADRES3810985UNINA
