We report on last weekend's National Gathering to celebrate 50 years of St. Francis CW; also, Archbishop Wester addresses CWers, Brisbane CW bikes for Palestine, and the poetry of washing windows.
Although Israel and its knee-jerk supporters like the U.S. are responsible for much destruction in the Gaza war, you didn’t mention at all the destruction caused by Hamas and its supporters like Iran- who are equally guilty. Sounds rather one-sided. Evil isn’t a Western phenomenon. Let’s call out evil
Good morning. I do not know who to address. In the article, "The Main Event...", the author refers to Catholic Worker as Christian anarchist movement. Can you explain?
Wish I could’ve been there! Looks like a great time!

Hey Eric! Great question. Some reading material for you - here is an interview conducted with Dorothy Day on the topic of anarchism: https://catholicworker.org/dorothy-day-holds-forth/. And here's an explainer I wrote this spring on Christian anarchism generally (and how the CW fits into that): https://uscatholic.org/articles/202407/christian-anarchism-is-as-old-as-christianity-itself/
Thank you for your reply. I am aware of Dorothy Day.
I wondered since the Catholic Church is the antithesis of anarchism.
Of course not Catholic or any Christianity at all, I have read Emma Goldman, non-violent anarchist.
