Excerpt
In 1947, Roman Catholic Archbishop Ritter of St. Louis instructed the parish priests of his archdiocese to integrate their parochial schools. At that time the citizens of St. Louis, including the Roman Catholics, were not accustomed to non-segregated schools. The result was that an organization of Roman Catholics was formed to fight the archbishop. But he threatened them with excommunication. And that was that. They turned over their treasury of some five thousand dollars to a Roman Catholic institution, folded their tents, and disbanded.
