Dr. Arthur Falls, a black Catholic physician, dedicated his life to addressing racial injustice through a unique integration of theology and social science. His work focused on healing divisions caused by white supremacy, particularly in Chicago's segregated hospitals. By reframing Christian truths, he highlighted the dangers of a "mythical body of Christ," which he argued perpetuated exclusion and racism within the Church. Falls' insights offer a renewed theology aimed at promoting racial justice and inclusivity within Catholicism.

In the US, Black children are twice as likely as white children to be removed from their parents and adopted out to strangers. The Ethics of Protection responds to this dire reality with a liberationist approach to child welfare ethics. This book reframes child welfare by centering the stories, challenges, failures, and victories of Black families.
