Mystic Series Dorothy Day: Don’t Call Me A Saint January 22 – Sunday afternoon Description: Now being considered for sainthood, this convert to Catholicism believed that Christianity is the religion of love that we are called to live, and saw the Catholic Church as the religion of the poor, in whom we see Christ.

Dorothy struggled with her own flaws, took controversial stands for peace and social justice, and, made enemies. She even spent time in jail.
