I was moved this evening to take part in a panel at Maryhouse of former managing editors of the Catholic Worker ranging back over 50 yrs. My years were 1976-78. Dorothy appointed me to this task though I was only 20 and had no obvious qualifications. Yet she set me on my path.

Helmuth James Graf von Moltke was executed on Jan 23 1945, charged with treason for conspiring vs Hitler. The German people, he said, must recognize that “what is happening is sin and they are responsible for each terrible deed committed.” My reflections @GiveUsThisDayLP

Today @UMassAmherst becomes the first university in 50 years (actually, ever) to offer my dad an honorary degree. At 91, it’s never too late. 👏

Dorothy Day was speaking at a college when a young man launched into a long tirade, calling her a communist, a traitor, a heretic, etc. She listened patiently and when he was done she replied, “You neglected to mention that I was once arrested on a morals charge in Chicago.”
