Then present your "facts". 

Better yet, why take either your word or mine?  Why not go straight to the source - people who were actually there back then?

As Dave Shaw, Cadet alum 1950-1958, describes it (or read the whole webpage yourself at http://theholynamecadets.org/history/history_58.php)...

So to review:

  • corps knows church does not want them to go to Nationals
  • corps goes anyway
  • corps "assuming" compromise will go over well proves they did not communicate about their plan to the church
  • corps procures equipment, uniforms
  • corps adopts new name

Again I ask, who pulled away from whom?

(Spoiler alert - both corps and church pulled away from each other.)

To quote Jeff Ream:  "Shhh... facts"

not disputing what either of you have presented, however one question:

 

the word compromise is used. That would indicate the church knew what was going on would it not?

By the wording, only the corps knew of any such "compromise".  It was their presumption that the "compromise" would be accepted.

Compromise, as in both parties working out an agreement in advance of the event?  Not in this case. 

More from that same Dave Shaw account:

"All parties connected with the Corps viewed this as a temporary, single-event
venture, independent of the Church. The name, the equipment, the uniforms, and
the funds from the Holy Name Cadet account were not used. It was assumed,
therefore, that when the "Garfield Cadets" returned from Chicago, the Cadets
would resume their identity as the Holy Name Cadets once again."
