If canonized, Dorothy Day would be a saint for a ‘polarized’ world (Crux)

Day’s witness for a suffering church today: “I believe Dorothy is a model not only for how to be Christian in addressing the myriad problems and suffering in the U.S., but also how to be a lay Catholic within the Church, which has its own myriad of suffering and problems”...
the “patroness of tension” capable of being a “bridge between two worlds that are often separated in American Catholicism: liturgy and social justice... Dorothy was neither/both a traditionalist or a progressive Catholic, and that’s precisely why she is a saint”...
