Comrade Father Thomas McGrady: a priest's quest for equality through socialism
2014
Overview
The experiences of Hagerty and McGrady were exceptional, but the issues they raised were important for both the Church and the socialist movement. Because its focus is local as well as national, this account expands historians' understanding of what eventually became a crusade by the Catholic bishops against socialism. McGrady was far from the first priest to contest a bishop's authority, but his socialism was a unique element in the situation. [...]his severance from St. Anthony's was unusual because other conflicts occurred, Trisco says, \"without breaking the bonds of the sacred orders that they [priests and bishops] possessed in common.6 THE SOCIALIST PARTY AND CATHOLIC TEACHING The embrace of socialism by religious people was possible because they did not have to swallow Marx's philosophical materialism whole. According to McGrady, in a letter on November 28 Maes \"dropped the question of Socialism completely, dropped the question of imprimatur on my books, dropped the question of my being absen from home on a lecture tour.\" According to one account, the bishop had \"first admonished, then warned with severity, and now finally, it is believed, had communicated to his subordinate an ultimatum that meant for Father McGrady complete retraction or excommunication.
