My brothers and sisters, there is a new rival ‘salvation’ narrative that we hear being told in the media and in our institutions by the new social justice movements. It is a powerful and attractive narrative for millions of people in American society. archbishopgomez.org/blog/ref…

When Dorothy Day in 1932 watched Communist-led hunger march in Washington she asked herself why Catholics weren't leading such a march. Rather than bemoan this as a "pseudo religion" or replacement of Xty she prayed to find a way to devote her faith to the cause of the oppressed.

Clearly, you need to read the speech in which he literally cites Dorothy Day as an important witness.

I certainly read the speech. I also edited the volume from which he drew that quote. My point was that he was deploying Dorothy Day for a purpose that was completely contrary to her intentions. She was always eager to seek concordances with those who worked for social justice.
