Disputes Claim Black
Priests Will Leave
CHICAGO-A Chicago archdiocese chancery has stated it has no
information to support a claim by a Southern Christian Leadership
Conference official who said black priests were being “pushed out”
of the archdiocese and might be leaving the priesthood.
The claim was made by the Rev. Jesse Jackson who addressed a
session of the Association of Chicago Priests (ACP) on “Poverty and
Racism in the Church.” The Rev. Mr. Jackson is currently director of
Operation Breadbasket here.

Donnellan has announced that
faculties to hear confessions and
to preach have been exchanged
for the priests of the Diocese of
Savannah, the Diocese of
Charleston and the Archdiocese
of Atlanta. The new ruling is
effective immediately for all
priests of the three jurisdictions,
both diocesan and religious.
Father Robert A. Reicher,
chairman of the Social Action
Committee, attacked the
activities of Father Francis A.
Lawler for creating a dual
housing market and appealing
indirectly to racial hostility.
With one Chicago black priest,
Father George W. Clements,
sitting behind him on the
platform, the Rev. Mr. Jackson
said: “It is wrong for George
Clements to be ridiculed, to have
no opportunity to grow in this
diocese.” He said later that
Father Clements and other black
priests here could not grow,
“cannot be men,” were being
“pushed out” of the priesthood,
and might be departing from it.
The chancery spokesman said
archdiocesan offices have no
information which would
substantiate the assertion
“regarding the departure of a
group of Roamn Catholic priests
of the archdiocese.
“If such were the case the
office of the archbishop would
obviously by appraised of the
fact,” the spokesman added.
Father Clements could not be
reached for comment.
The ACP meeting was
centered on the “Church’s
Mission to the Poor.” The priests
passed a number of resolutions of
the social action committee and
adopted constitutional
amendments which would
broaden and strengthen the
power of the association.
The resolutions included:
-Support for the Contract
Buyers’ League, a group of black
homeowners who are withholding
payments on their homes to
protest inflated prices under
which the homes were bought
and who seek to renegotiate their
home contracts. The priests
backed their resolution with a
collection of $ 1,400 as a “token”
of support.
-Establishment of an urban
institute for Sisters, priests and
laity for training in the pastoral
ministry.
