Dorothy Day: Saint?
I think saints should be determined by their good deeds they did on earth. The essential element a person needs to become a saint should be their love for christ. I they did enough good deeds and I mean dedicating your life to the mission of christ, they I believe they should be a saint. Dorothy Day was a normal human being. She had lovers and a spunky(yes, I just used the word spunky) attitude. She lived live half empty in the beginning and then found her call. Her abortion was really the catalyst toward her love of justice and charity. The Archbishop of NY surprisingly supports her canonization. He is a conservative bishop and Dorothy Day was far from being conservative. But she truly dedicated her life to service and that is what makes her special. When someone is a saint, everyone knows it. That is why I am not surprised by the support the Archbishop is showing. Being a catholic saint is much more than being a good person, it means dedicating your life to the mission and love of Christ.
