I always thought too much was made of Dorothy Day.
If you separate theology from improving man all you have is socialism or some other such misguided philosophy.
I agree. Our bishop just adored Cesar Chavez, he was nothing but a socialist. There is nothing wrong with trying to change things for the better on a personal basis but when you ask someone else to do be forced to do it, it is no longer a vocation. They may have had good goals but they went about it wrong.
Socialists and liberals want everyone to have everything without working for it but they don’t want to provide the everything with their own money, they want someone else to work and slave and pay for it all and they usually skim off the top for their own pockets.
