Religious Americans have been divided in their views on abortion since the historic 1973 decision by the United States, which legalized abortion across the country. In response, churches across the country have taken various stances. In San Antonio, Texas, the San Antonio de Valero Mission (now known as The Alamo) was the only one that was completely secularized. The Methodist Episcopal Church enrolled 23,392 parishioners in two conferences, Texas and West Texas, but it is impossible to know exactly how many of them were black.
Today, the San Antonio missions are among the few relatively intact examples of colonial missions in the Southwest. When Archbishop Lucey was appointed to San Antonio, he implemented many programs and initiatives with the goal of informing the community that the Catholic Church had a place for the betterment of society.

Clark, who arrived in late 1865, it was revealed that Clark was the first regular missionary from the African Methodist Episcopal Church to work in the state. At the Vibiana Cathedral in Los Angeles, he began working on ways to introduce the community to the Amarillo Catholic Church. Stephen Amberg's article “Governing Labor in the Modernization of Texas” states that employers developed specific actions to prevent workers from organizing themselves politically after the New Deal, despite political and legal intervention from the National War Labor Board. J Falbo hired General Supply Company in San Antonio to complete a gymnasium for workers who were not affiliated with any sheet metal union in the city.
Archbishop Lucey also worked on acquiring land for St. Lawrence the Martyr on the south side of San Antonio. GSP stated that they could afford to offer their workers retirement, hospitalization and vacation programs, unlike unions in San Antonio. The number of possible violations discovered by media exceeds the total number of churches that IRS has investigated for intervening in political campaigns in past decade, according to documents obtained through Freedom of Information Act.

This shows how churches have responded differently to social and political issues since 1973.
