Catholic Worker
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Catholic Worker is a newspaper published by the Catholic Worker Movement community in New York City. The newspaper was started by Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin in the 1930s, and Day was the editor until her death in 1980. The price per issue has always been one cent. Writers for the paper have ranged from young volunteers to such notable figures as Thomas Merton, Daniel Berrigan and Jacques Maritain. Ade Bethune and Fritz Eichenberg have frequently contributed illustrations. The Catholic Worker lost thousands of subscribers because of its strict pacifist stance and refusal to join in the call for U.S. involvement in World War II.
