I am old enough to remember the distrust with which Dorothy Day was held by much of the "official" Church. Now that she is safely dead, and not able to speak up about peace and justice issues which would undoubtedly pit her against the pre-election pro-Trump USCCB, she is being held up as a saint. I don't think it's because of her peace and justice ideals but because they want to use her as a fervent anti-abortionist. She regretted the abortion she had even though she steadfastly refused to condemn abortion or contraception publicly as far as I know. That the US hierarchy is using her to gain credibility on one issue while blatantly ignoring the issues she was really passionate about must be causing her to turn over in her grave.
