So much were her 'politics' based on an ideology of nonviolence that they may be said to be apolitical. Like so many saints of days gone by, she was an idealist in a non-ideal world. It was her contention that men and women should begin to live on earth the life they would one day lead in heaven, a life of peace and harmony. Much of what she spoke of in terms of social justice anticipated the teachings of Pope John Paul II and lends support to her cause. I am also pleased by the continuing attraction of Dorothy Day's life and work by so many in the United States.
Movement continue to be reprinted due to demand.
The University of Marquette which holds her papers, letters, notes, etc., reports frequent visitors and researchers. A vast number of articles have been and are being written about Dorothy Day. So, too, I have been very much impressed by the attestations of holiness given by those who knew and worked with Dorothy Day. A move for the official recognition of Dorothy Day's holiness would fulfill the wishes of many Catholics and non-Catholics alike who recognize her sanctity and await official word from the Church. I have subjected Dorothy Day's post-conversion writings to the careful examination of a dogmatist, moralist, and canonist.
