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. 606 $aCivil rights workers$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPolitical activists$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPriests$zUnited States$xPolitical activity$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMexican Americans$xCivil rights$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCivil rights movements$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMexican Americans$xSocial conditions$y20th century 606 $aChurch and social problems$xCatholic Church$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aCivil rights workers$xHistory 615 0$aPolitical activists$xHistory 615 0$aPriests$xPolitical activity$xHistory 615 0$aMexican Americans$xCivil rights$xHistory 615 0$aCivil rights movements$xHistory 615 0$aMexican Americans$xSocial conditions 615 0$aChurch and social problems$xCatholic Church$xHistory 676 $a267/.24273/0896872 700 $aMartinez$b Richard Edward$f1968-$01694784 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826500803321 996 $aPADRES$94073554 997 $aUNINA
