Quote from Terri Fishel on September 1, 2026, 2:21 pmMembers of this group might be interested in a recent post on Substack - Under Pope Leo XIV, Vatican Moves Dorothy Day Closer to Sainthood. It is a long process, but as per an excerpt:
"The last two popes have both vouched for her. Addressing Congress in September 2015, on the first visit any pope had made to that chamber, Francis held up four Americans for the nation to study: Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Dorothy Day, and Thomas Merton. “Her social activism, her passion for justice and for the cause of the oppressed, were inspired by the Gospel, her faith, and the example of the saints,” he told the lawmakers."
