Sometimes when we get discouraged, a loved one is ill, our message to stop teaching killing is ignored by the very people that preach it and things are just not working out on many levels something appears that lift our spirits. This happened to me tonight and it was by the way of the Catholic Worker Journal, a new blog of the Catholic Worker Movement. To any readers of this web site you know how much the Catholic Worker Movement and Dorothy Day have influenced my life.
Our recent action to stop teaching war at a Catholic University I felt had been ignored by many, even some good Catholics who preach and talk peace and justice.
I had recently sent our an email to Catholic Workers about our simple protest at the installation events of the new President of Marquette University, the only Catholic Jesuit University in the country to host departments of Army, Navy/Marines and Air Force on campus. The email seemed ignored as our message of Teach War No More is. Today I got a message from a Catholic Worker asking me to resend some pictures of our protest at Marquette last week which I did. Tonight on the Catholic Worker Journal blog appeared this news article on our efforts.
I know this new blog will not be seen by many but just the recognition of our message of resistance to training for war on Catholic campuses is refreshing and uplifting. So once again persons in the Catholic Worker Movement have come to my aide when I was down.
