Agreed. Archbishop Gomez has produced an article on Dorothy Day which is full of pious platitudes about “love” and “service” . He does not address the real issues concerning Dorothy Day which have been demonstrated with the support of rock-solid evidence in “The Catholic Worker Movement (1933-80): a Critical Analysis.”
There you will find the truth that Day never gave up her Communist ideology. She could not in principle bring herself to condemn the social and economic ideals of Marxism. Her actions flowed from this ideology and were not constrained by such limiting factors as Catholicism or patriotism. In fact, she retained a lingering respect for Lenin and, by analogy, for all revolutionaries who were inspired by him. How else did she merit among her contemporaries the nickname “Moscow Mary?”
Many people are now using their critical faculties to uncover the truth about Dorothy Day rather than accept at face value the ready-made image of her that the Catholic Left keeps churning out.
