Healing the Racial Divide retrieves the insights of Dr. Arthur Falls (1901-2000) for composing a renewed theology of Catholic racial justice. Falls used to be a black Catholic physician who committed his existence to therapeutic rifts created by means of white supremacy and racism. He built-in theology, the social sciences, and private event to compose a salve that was once in a position to not just integrating neighborhoods but in addition removing the segregation that existed in Chicago hospitals. Falls was once in a position to reframe the elemental truths of the Christian religion in a fashion that unleashed their prophetic strength. He observed these Catholics who promoted segregation in Chicago as believers within the "mythical physique of Christ," in preference to the paranormal physique of Christ. The "mythical physique of Christ" is a heretical doctrine that excludes African americans and promotes the fantasy that white everyone is the normative degree of the Catholic faith.

"Good scholarship can in attaining a resurrection. during this well-researched and fantastically written ebook, Rice retrieves from digital oblivion a towering Catholic African American general practitioner and hero, Arthur Falls. Falls's paintings is a pointy problem to either American and Catholic lack of awareness of African American adventure and culture."
--Professor Daniel C. Maguire, Marquette collage, Milwaukee, WI

"In his groundbreaking learn of black Catholics within the US, Cyprian Davis demands 'carefully researched histories conducted at the neighborhood level.' Rice's account of Arthur Falls's lifestyles and concept isn't just this type of heritage. it's also a portrait of the maintaining and transformative energy of faith."
--Jon Nilson, Loyola collage Chicago, Chicago, IL

"Lincoln Rice's textual content describes racism in either the theology and activities of the Roman Catholic Church and engages readers in a compelling exam of no matter if racism is heretical or 'merely' sinful. As Rice indicates, racism assaults the integrity of the magical physique, a doctrine that deeply encouraged Dorothy Day and people within the Catholic employee move, together with the African-American Chicagoan Arthur Falls. The lifetime of Falls, so successfully retold right here, indicates that his ethical suasion and nonviolent motion had lasting leads to integrating Chicago associations. As Falls acknowledged, 'If you are correct, you do not continually lose.'"
-- Rosalie Riegle Troester, editor of Voices from the Catholic Worker
