New York Times surprised over Cardinal Dolan's support for beatification of Dorothy Day

Beatification or Beautification... both are used in this story and have totally different meanings. ;-)

More drivel

Dorothy Day also left the legacy of Catholic Worker houses across America. The resident of these houses emulate Dorothy's life and continue the Catholic Worker movement. I too thought about the contradictions that Dolan is dealing with, who knows what his reasons are! Dorothy Day was undoubtedly a saint. The U.S. bishops should get started on sainthood for Jean Donovan, Sister Maura Clarke MM, Sister Dorothy Kazel and Sister Ita Ford MM. December 2 was the 32nd anniversary of their rape and murder by American trained (School of the Americas, Fort Benning Georgia) Salvadoran National Guard. "The endurance of the poor and their faith through this terrible pain is constantly pulling me to a deeper faith response. My fear of death is being challenged constantly as children and old people are being shot... I want to stay on now. I believe that God is present in His seeming absence." Sister Maura Clarke MM.

IMO Dolan is trying to woo progressive catholics to his #1 cause - keeping our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters as second class citizens and not being allowed to have civil marriage under state law................Desperate people do desperate things and the church knows full well that the USA is on the path to joining most all of western Europe re civil law marriage.............Somehow this is like the comment of molester hider cardinal George of Chicago, who last year called the gay pride parade a KKK event. Trying to create more hate of gays people by equating them with the Kluxers..............Just more reasons that EX catholics are the #2 religion in the USA This is all per the catholic site

The NY Times opining on Catholic issues and topics? Surely this is a joke?

This is sure a dilemma-for me! Dorothy Day always espoused left wing principles, which I am generally opposed to. Having an abortion, even if it occurred before she converted to the Catholic faith, was reprehensible. Yet, she agreed with my feelings, regarding the utter rejection of Matthew 5:28, and the corresponding Church guilt inspiring dogma, regarding human sexuality. The fact that Cardinal Dolan supports her eventual cannonization is rather shocking, doesn't everybody agree?

Apparently Dorothy Day had little interest in such a consideration. Miracles or delusions?
