Dorothy Day on the spot

Today I went fishing with my friend and his girlfriend’s seven year daughter. Expectations of catching salmon were high since just the other day my friend had been at this location along the Milwaukee River and had caught all the salmon he could handle.

When we got there the exact spot along the river bank he favored was taken, so we went to a spot next to it. There were signs of salmon in the river but they were not abundant today as they had been just two days before. The three of us worked for the fish but got none. Since my friend’s spot was still occupied when we were ready to leave, we drove up-river to another spot. No one and no fish were there. My friend thought we would have caught fish if we’d had his lucky spot. I am not sure if the spot mattered.

They say it is better to teach someone to fish than to give someone a fish, but today I would have settled for a fish my friend had caught earlier. In fact my friend was going to bring me one of the salmon in his freezer but forgot. This was our second attempt this year. Now we will need to try again or wait till next year for the salmon to run.

As regular readers of The Nonviolent Cow know, a lot of energy and space has been used on this spot to resist the teaching of war and military values contrary to the Christian faith at Marquette University. Today our efforts got a boost from the co-founder of the Catholic Worker movement,Dorothy Day. Although she died long before the Solomon Amendment in 1996 made offering military training mandatory on college campuses, her position on military training rings true today.

In fact I started a new web page Catholic Workers and Military Training on Catholic Campuses with a quote from her on military training, and invited Catholic Workers, most who live and work in houses of hospitality all over the world, to join.

This is fitting since Marquette University not only hosts the Army, Navy/Marines and Air Force, but hosts the archives of the Catholic Worker and Dorothy Day. These two, military bases and Catholic Workers, do not belong in the same spot, Marquette University. In this situation, the spot matters.
