Book Reviews of The Long Loneliness: The Autobiography of the Legendary Catholic Social Activist
Book Review: Authentic Christianity
Summary: 5 Stars
This book reads like an autobiography, but is actually about the author's spiritual conversion to the Catholic church. A very significant conversion it was because it resulted in the Catholic Worker movement. Dorothy Day became so dedicated to the church that she transcended it, into the realm of true Christianity. Aware that her church was not doing all that it should in following Christ, it was inevitable that she would form a splinter group, without breaking from that church, to practice authentic Christianity. As she was the mother of a child, it would have to be a lay group. Her meeting with Peter Maurin provided the catalyst, and the rest is history. She had found her life's work, and the American church had found its conscience. Don't let anybody tell you that Christianity has never been tried.
