As the campaign to canonize Dorothy Day goes into full drive with the 2017 publication of her granddaughter Kate Hennessy's book "Dorothy Day: The World Will Be Saved by Beauty: An Intimate Portrait of My Grandmother," this article provides an excellent corrective which delineates Day's unsuitablity for canonization. Day is a confusing example of "holiness"; she said one thing, but did another. The most famous example is her repeated promise of obedience to her archbishop, while she refused to obey him; see http://dorothydayworker.blogspot.com/2017/03/orothy-was-master-at-name-game-to-claim.html and Carol Byrne, "The Catholic Worker Movement (1933-1980): A Critical Analysis," 2010, pp.206-208.

Does the author believe it is possible for the Church officially to recognize a saint in opposition to God’s will?

This woman espoused an evil political ideology that she sought o impose on the world under the false pretense of “justice”. I know she had an abortion, which I have less of a problem with since one can regret, repent, and receive forgiveness, but as far as I know she never repented of her communist ways.

I’d suggest that all canonizations and such be put on hold until it can be seen if the Church can regain its bearings following the death or replacement of its ridiculous current pope.

She had an abortion/ She may have been sorry about it and post abortive women can be forgiven with the proper confession, however- I do not see how someone who had an abortion can possibly be elevated to the altar of sainthood.

Not to mention her communism. Horrible choice by a horrible Pope.

Sainthood? Well the Catholic Church’s official DEVIL’S ADVOCATE will thoroughly vet her. And from that knowledge, combined with the good stuff, sainthood will be decided on.

I vote for Otis Day.

Some humans think their votes count more than God’s decision.
