- On the prophetic anarchy of Dorothy Day (Catholic World Report, 8/7/2023)
- "The best way to describe Dorothy’s 'politics' is as a politics of anti-centralization that opposes the Leviathan of the outsized, modern centralized State and the bureaucratic apparatus that imposes itself with ever greater force upon all of us.... True subsidiarity, as Dorothy understood, requires the recognition that there are competencies and forms of natural authority, rooted in divine and natural law.... [She] believed passionately that if all Christians lived the Gospel radically that a more just form of 'politics' would emerge from that effort."
- "Though slanted, her Wikipedia entry does acknowledge that – after her conversion – Dorothy Day was opposed to sex outside marriage and 'never deviated from The Church’s teachings on the sanctity of human life from conception till natural death.' However, it very much fails to convey her perspectives on abortion and contraception as assaults on the sanctity of human life and marriage/family:
- Catholic Worker, 1933: '….Three little pigs are crowded into a too-small cage, the case is brought into court, the judge’s findings in the case being that pigs should not be crowded the way subway riders are. And a family of eight children, mother, and father, are crowded in three rooms and the consensus of opinion is that they’re lucky to have that and why don’t they practice birth control anyway….'
- The Family vs Capitalism, 1936: '….in New York…, there is no diocesan provision whatsoever for the poor who are trying to observe the teachings of the Church against birth control and raise families despite their economic circumstances….'
- On Pilgrimage, 1963: '….Sex is a profound force, having to do with life, the forces of creation which make man god-like….'
- Chastity, 1966: '….the marriage act purged of impurities is the nearest thing to the beatific vision we can know…. '
- On Pilgrimage, 1972: '….birth control and abortion are genocide….'
- On Pilgrimage, 1980: '….When she [my sister] went on to exhort me on another occasion, that I should not urge, as a Catholic, Tamar, my daughter, to have so many children, I got up firmly and walked out of the house….'
