42 42 It is worth noting that southern Catholics took a radical rhetorical approach and taught the need for love and compassion toward African Americans. Catholics demonstrated a crisis of conscience in race relations and were determined to transform their southern congregations. The SBC saw no human crisis worthy of dismantling Jim Crow segregation and its impact on African Americans. Catholics wanted to end the racial status quo, while the SBC endorsed the continued social and political dehumanization of African Americans. In sum, the southern Catholics chose to extend love, charity, and compassion to African Americans, while the SBC chose apathy, especially during the desegregation process following Brown. See The Editors of Interracial Review, “Can Prejudice Be Cured?” 1935, 1–2, American Catholic History Classroom, The Catholic University of America, accessed June 30, 2016, http://cuomeka.wrlc.org/files/original/a359b2291ae3805ddd76e8e90ae8afc6.pdf. Also, “Bishop Fletcher’s Catechism on ‘Segregation and Racial Discrimination’ Recommended for Further Study in Advent,” Arkansas Catholic, November 25, 1960, 3, accessed July 1, 2016, http://arc.stparchive.com/Archive/ARC/ARC11251960p03.php. Both offer examples of a radical rhetoric of love of neighbor and the Golden Rule in reference to racial integration.
