forshorten, I cant read minds and project on other commenters like you appear to want. 

Dorothy Day came to us when we were teens. I dont recall you being there. Dorothy Day is not the nice granny you portray her as  in your  unrealistic fantasy. She set the world on fire. Anti war, rights for the poor. More. If that be her being a 'catholic worker recruiter venerable with many grievances,' 'I'd say for sure you never knew her firsthand, and are opining out of your imaginary ideals.

 Like I said, we are not going to find agreement. Sorry.
