For or Against the Catholic Day: A Saint for the Occupy Era?

[alice wellintown]

Dorothy Day, a heroine of the American left and perhaps the most
famous radical in the history of the American Catholic Church, led one
of those remarkable lives that encompassed all the major upheavals of
the twentieth century. The twenty-first century, remarkably, finds her
being touted for canonization, with a big push this week from Cardinal
Timothy Dolan, the Archbishop of New York. It’s a terrific idea: a
home-town saint for the Occupy Wall Street era.
