Dorothy Day/Catholicism & the Poor
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page essay that discusses the stance of Dorothy Day in regards to the Catholic Church and poverty in the Great Depression. Day was one of the co-founders of the Catholic Worker Movement, which began in the 1930s. With co-founder Peter Maurin, Day established the newspaper The Catholic Worker, started the Paulist Press and by 1936 had opened 33 Catholic Worker houses across the country, which offered a home and place of refuge to the poor. Day was originally attracted to Catholicism (she was not born Catholic) because she "felt that the Church was the Church of the poor" (Day 150). However, actual experience taught Day that the attitude of official Catholic organizations was that only the "deserving" poor should receive help and charity. As this indicates, Day felt that there was a distinct conflict between the Catholic Church, her religious belief, and the needs of the poor. Bibliography lists 1 source.
