Abstract

Die Amerikanerin Dorothy Day gilt manchen als eine moderne Heilige. Als Pazifistin und Anarchistin stellte sie in der Zeit nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg den American Way of Life infrage und kam in Konflikt mit Kirche und Staat. Monika Bauer zeichnet in ihrer Biografie Dorothy Days Weg nach von der Bohemienne zur gläubigen Katholikin. Sie zeigt, dass die Sozialaktivistin ihr widersprüchliches Leben als Pilgerweg verstand und wie sehr sie an einer Kirche litt, die sie mehr als mächtige Institution denn als geschwisterliche Gemeinschaft in der Nachfolge Jesu wahrnahm. Als Mitbegründerin und Herausgeberin der Zeitung The Catholic Worker verlieh sie dem linken Flügel der katholischen Kirche Amerikas eine Stimme. Sie legte mit diesem Engagement den Grundstein für eine radikale Bewegung, die wegweisend wurde für eine zeitgemässe katholische Laienspiritualität und die Perspektiven für Sendung und Praxis der Kirche in einer säkularen Welt eröffnete. So ist es nicht verwunderlich, dass für Dorothy Day inzwischen ein Seligsprechungsprozess eröffnet worden ist.

Abstract

"After a middle-class Republican childhood and a few years as a Communist sympathizer, Dorothy Day converted to Catholicism and became an anomaly in American life for almost fifty years. As an orthodox Catholic, political radical, and a rebel who courted controversy, she attracted three generations of admirers. Day went to jail challenging the draft and the war in Vietnam. She was critical of capitalism and foreign policy, and as skeptical of modern liberalism as political conservatism. Her protests began in 1917, leading to her arrest during the suffrage demonstration outside President Wilson's White House. In 1940 she spoke in Congress against the draft and urged young men not to register. She frequented jail throughout the 1950s protesting the nuclear arms race. She told audiences in 1962 that President Kennedy was as much to blame for the Cuban missile crisis. She refused to hear any criticism of the pope, though she sparred with American bishops and priests who lived in well-appointed rectories and tolerated racial segregation in their parishes. Dorothy Day is the exceptional biography of a dedicated modern-day pacifist, the most outspoken advocate for the poor, and a lifelong anarchist. This definitive and insightful account explores the influence this controversial and yet "sainted" woman still has today."-- "The first full-length biography of its subject in forty years, this book separates the myths from the facts about America's most radical pacifist, critic of US foreign policy, Catholic activist. Dorothy Day: Dissenting Voice of the American Century is the life story of the American icon Pope Francis I mentioned alongside Martin Luther King, Jr., and Abraham Lincoln for her revolutionary aspirations to a more humane and sustainable future." Loughery and Randolph separate the myths from the facts about Dorothy Day, America's most radical pacifist, critic of US foreign policy, Catholic activist. Her conversion to Catholicism in the 1920s, following an abortion and the birth of a child out of wedlock, changed the direction of her life. She founded the Catholic Worker to provide food and shelter for the destitute during the Depression. An impassioned advocate of civil disobedience, she frequently criticized the church for its complacency but is today being considered by the Catholic Church for canonization. -- adapted from jacket.

Abstract

In this introduction to the life and thought of Dorothy Day, one of the most important lay Catholics of the twentieth century, Terrence Wright presents her radical response to God's mercy. After a period of darkness and sin, which included an abortion and a suicide attempt, Day had a profound awakening to God's unlimited love and mercy through the birth of her daughter.After her conversion, Day answered the calling to bring God's mercy to others. With Peter Maurin, she founded the Catholic Worker Movement in 1933. Dedicated to both the spiritual and the corporal works of mercy, they established Houses of Hospitality, Catholic Worker Farms, and the Catholic Worker newspaper.Drawing heavily from Day's own writings, this book reveals her love for Scripture, the sacraments, and the magisterial teaching of the Church. The author explores her philosophy and spirituality, including her devotion to Saints Francis, Benedict, and Thérèse. He also shows how her understanding of the Mystical Body of Christ led to some of her more controversial positions such as pacifism.Since her death in 1980, Day continues to serve as a model of Christian love and commitment. She recognized Christ in the less fortunate and understood that to be a servant of these least among us is to be a servant of God.
