Granddaughter of Dorothy Day on the Founding of the Catholic Worker Movement | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The granddaughter of Dorothy Day and the author of the book 'Dorothy Day: The World Will be Saved by Beauty', Kate Hennessy, joins to share more about her grandmother and her work founding the Catholic Worker Periodical which evolved into a movement. It began as a newspaper because she was a journalist. She came from a family of journalists, and to her, it was a clear need when she discovered the Church's teachings on social justice. She felt it was really important to get that known. In reference to possible canonization, Day once said, "don't trivialize me by trying to make me a saint." Kate discusses what she thinks Day meant by that and what she would think about her being canonized. Regarding the illegal abortion that she had before her conversion to Catholicism, her granddaughter tells us whether she knows how much that affected Day. More than 40 years after her death, Kate fills us in on what she thinks Dorothy Day is teaching us today. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
