2 Dorothy Day: Th modl you want wo mn walk through on of th world s grat musums criticizing th paintings. You know th story. A T guard tlls thm, You ar not judging th paintings. Th paintings ar judging you. I thought about this whn rading a young lfty acadmic and a consrvativ cultur warrior dbating on my Facbook pag. I d postd a link to Ptr Wolfgang s Why Libral Churchs Hav to Clos. Ptr runs th Family Institut of Conncticut and spaks from th Catholic right. Chas Padusniak politly notd that Ptr objctd as much to th politics as th thology. Chas, a doctoral studnt who writs th Japprs and Janglrs wblog, spaks from th Catholic lft. tr qually politly xplaind that It is th htrodoxy and bad catchsis that I was calling out, not politics that diffr from my own on mattrs on which thr can b a lgitimat plurality of opinion. Thn h P said th striking thing: Giv m a Catholic who is as radical as Dorothy Day but has hr fidlity to th Church and I m totally cool with it, vn if I might disagr. Y Vry rar ou hav to spnd a lot of your day rading Christian cultur-warring to know how unusual that is. For Ptr, th shard faith is vrything. Politics yah, okay, whatvr. You might spray paint th sid of your hous with th A within a circl of Anarchism. You might war a pin with th fist holding th ros of th Europan socialist partis. You might put on that ti with th bust of is it Edmund Burk? Tocquvill? favord by consrvativs. You might carry Ayn Rand novls and drss as you did in junior high to show you r a librtarian. ut if your first idntifying symbol is th Crucifix, you r okay with Ptr. Who is, mind you, politically B vry consrvativ. H not only opposs abortion and gay marriag, as you d xpct from a Family Institut guy, h s vry consrvativ all down th lin. H thinks wll of th prsidnt. H wrot on Facbook last yar about attnding Mass at his childhood parish aftr 18 yars away. It s still groovy, Ptr says: Drums and guitar, an altar boy in shorts and snakrs, an intrior so wrck-ovatd in th lat 90s that my 9-yar-old didn t bliv it was Catholic, and a congrgation that stands aftr rciving communion instad of knling. And thn I opn up th bulltin and rad six (!) pags of dirct actions St. Bridgt is taking on bhalf of th poor that blows away any consrvativ parish I know. his rminds him of somthing Bishop Robrt Barron said, which h quots. In sminary popl would ask, T Ar you a liturgy guy or a social-justic guy? Barron answrs by invoking Dorothy Day. Sh was radically dvotd to social chang, car for th poor and an nd to violnc, h says. Yt sh was convrtd to a vry pious Catholicism rootd in th Eucharist, th Mass, th Rosary, Bndiction, rtrats and an intns intriority. Sh brought ths two [strands] togthr in hr lif, and on fd th othr; on rturnd to th othr. That is th modl you want. Dorothy Day, th modl you want onsrvativ Ptr Wolfgang ndorss radical Dorothy Day. H s totally cool with hr, bcaus sh combind hr politics, which h dosn t shar, with an intns Catholicism, which h dos. H cars most C about somthing much dpr than politics. suspct that Ptr, also Chas, Bishop Barron, and I, s somthing mor in Day than just fidlity to th I Church. W s goodnss and hroism. W s a dsir to tak Jsus at His word far gratr than w manag. Instructions w trat as mtaphors turn th othr chk, go th scond mil, giv somon your scond coat sh livd out at grat cost to hrslf. t, bcaus w can t hav nic things, som Catholics mak fun of Dorothy Day for hr politics. Thy Y attack hr as a crank, a fool, a fanatic, at bst a naiv and gullibl utopian and anti-amrican. Sh s thir postr child for absurd libralism. Hr grat faith and hr hroic lif count for nothing with thm. hy hoot and hollr. Rading thm whn I hav to, though I try to avoid it, I want to say: You may (in T thory) b right and sh wrong about politics, but vn if you wr right, you ar not worthy to lac up hr boots. You should b mbarrassd and ashamd. You ar not judging Dorothy Day. Dorothy Day is judging you. Contrast thir carping with Giv m a Catholic who is as radical as Dorothy Day but has hr fidlity to th Church and I m totally cool with it. You know whn St. Paul told th Christians in Corinth, B lik m? Hr, b lik Ptr. (Adaptd by Max Harrington. Sourc:

3 Mm. of St. Ignatius of Antioch, Bishop and Martyr, Oct. 17 Th scond Bishop of Antioch, Syria, this discipl of th blovd Discipl John was conscratd Bishop around th yar 69 by th Apostl Ptr, th first Pop. A holy man who was dply lovd by th Christian faithful, h always mad it his spcial car to dfnd orthodoxy (right taching) and orthopraxy (right practic) among th arly Christians. In th yar 107, Empror Trajan visitd Antioch and forcd th Christians thr to choos btwn dath and apostasy. Ignatius would not dny Christ and thus was condmnd to b put to dath in Rom. Ignatius is wll known for th svn lttrs h wrot on th long journy from Antioch to Rom. Fiv of ths lttrs ar to churchs in Asia Minor; thy urg th Christians thr to rmain faithful to God and to oby thir supriors. H warns thm against hrtical doctrins, providing thm with th solid truths of th Christian faith. Th sixth lttr was to Polycarp, bishop of Smyrna, who was latr martyrd for th faith. Th final lttr bgs th Christians in Rom not to try to stop his martyrdom. Th only thing I ask of you is to allow m to offr th libation of my blood to God. I am th what of th Lord; may I b ground by th tth of th basts to bcom th immaculat brad of Christ. (Sourcs: & Mm. of Sts.

In th two books h shows th paralll btwn th lif of Christ and that of th Church. H is th only Gntil Christian among th Gospl writrs. Tradition holds him to b a nativ of Antioch, and Paul calls him our blovd physician. His Gospl was probably writtn btwn 70 and 85 A.D. Luk appars in Acts during Paul s scond journy, rmains at Philippi for svral yars until Paul rturns from his third journy, accompanis Paul to Jrusalm, and rmains nar him whn h is imprisond in Casara. During ths two yars, Luk had tim to sk information and intrviw prsons who had known Jsus. H accompanid Paul on th dangrous journy to Rom whr h was a faithful companion. (Sourc: Commntary Cornr Th critical qustion prtains to th wdding garmnt, for it is th on thing ncssary, in addition to an invitation, to partak in th fstivitis of th kingdom. Many commntators viw this imag through th lns of Rv 19:8, whr th wdding garmnt of th Church rprsnts th rightous dds of th saints. This intrprtation is lgitimat as far as it gos, though a mor spcific maning sms intndd. If som gusts wr not worthy of th fast (v. 8), this is bcaus thy wr unwilling to bar fruit that was worthy of rpntanc (3:8). Likwis, thos gathrd in from th strt wr bad and good alik (v. 10). Th final vrs capturs th mssag of th parabl in a short maxim. Many ar invitd, Jsus says, but fw ar chosn. Th point is that all ar calld to th kingdom, but not all will b found worthy to posss it. Som will dclin th invitation and so xclud thmslvs from its blssings; othrs will accpt it but will not follow through in putting its dmands into practic. Thos found accptabl ar thos committd to dircting thir livs by th gospl. Thy cloth thmslvs in th garmnts of tru rpntanc and Christlik rightousnss. -From Catholic Commntary on Sacrd Scriptur
