Matthew Cressler, ’06, has launched “Bad Catholics, Good Trouble” (https://badcatholics-comics.org/), an educational webcomic that brings true stories of Catholic racism and antiracism to life in an art form suitable for all ages.
The first story, titled “An Exception to the Rule,” is based on the life of Sr. Angelica Schultz, O.S.F., a Franciscan sister who was hit with a brick while she marched for civil rights in Chicago in 1966. The website comes with ready-made teaching, learning, and praying resources for those interested in engaging it and sharing it.
Cressler is the author of “Authentically Black and Truly Catholic: The Rise of Black Catholicism in the Great Migrations” and has written for America, The Atlantic, National Catholic Reporter, Religion News Service, The Revealer, Slate, U.S. Catholic, and Zocalo Public Square.
