A sin that forever precludes one from canonization, even though confessed and absolved, cannot be said to have been “forgiven.”
“...cannot be said to have been forgiven...”
I am not taking the wrong position that a sin even though forgiven somehow forever precludes one from canonization. You keep telling me that this is my position and it is not. I get it!! You are treating me as though I do not understand the teaching.
I am trying to make the point that Dorothy Day’s unrepentant communism raises the possibility that this repentance is a red flag that her total repentance is questionable since abortion rights are inexctricably linked with communism.
Sure, she repented of her own abortion - but socialists take the position of Cuomo, Kennedy, Pelosi, Biden and the other evil sell outs that it is OK for others. This is material cooperation in the evil of other’s actions when one is a leader. Dorothy Day would almost certainly stand with Pelosi and her ilk.
Bergoglio does nothing about pro abort politicians who take communion - Nancy Pelosi comes to mind - and Dorothy Day as a “leader” in the socialist worker movement almost certainly would take the same position.
Pope Pius XI said that no one can be at the same time a good Catholic and a true socialist.
The Church’s doctrine is made in a whole cloth; pull one thread (communism) and the whole fabric disintegrates.
