| Description: |
This collection of essays by scholars and Catholic Worker activists analyzes the emergence and nature of pacifism in the Roman Catholic Church in the United States. The work focuses particularly on the pivotal role of Dorothy Day's Catholic Worker Movement in challenging uncritical militarism. |
| Synopsis: |
This collection of mostly original essays by scholars and Catholic Worker activists provides a systematic, analytical study of the emergence and nature of pacifism in the largest single denomination in the United States: Roman Catholicism. The collection underscores the pivotal role of Dorothy Day's Catholic Worker movement in challenging the conventional understanding of just-war principles and the American Catholic Church's identification with uncritical militarism. Also included are a study of Dorothy Day's preconversion pacifism, previously unpublished letters from Dorothy Day to Thomas Merton, Eileen Egan's account of the birth and early years of Pax, the Catholic Worker-inspired peace organization, and in-depth coverage of how the contemporary Plowshares movement emerged from the Catholic Worker movement. |
