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.”

Replying to @RobertEllsberg
That's reassuring, as a CatholicWorker/Plowshares activist I was charged inLouisiana/1992 with"being guilty of a crime of moral turpitude"-due to my non-consensual relationship with a B52 Bomber that was older than me! *Agent charging me didn't know what "turpitude" meant either!
