Celebrating Dorothy Day - Praise from the Pope

I met Dorothy Day in the 1960s in the East Village. The Catholic Worker is still published and they still run St. Joseph House at 36 East 1st St.

Now she's being considered for Sainthood.

On NPR:

So happy to see this about Dorothy Day on Lawrence O'Donnell's show tonight.
