Well, Commies often want to confiscate Church art to give it to the poor ... and Judas Ischariot ...

[1] Jesus therefore, six days before the pasch, came to Bethania, where Lazarus had been dead, whom Jesus raised to life. [2] And they made him a supper there: and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that were at table with him. [3] Mary therefore took a pound of ointment of right spikenard, of great price, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. [4] Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, he that was about to betray him, said: [5] Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?

[6] Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and having the purse, carried the things that were put therein.

Well, it seems the Commies are (those of that line, at least) the same.

Now, guess who was not one, even if she was called so?

Dorothy Day.

She was fierce advocate for the least of these who didn’t fall for the Judas Iscariot line about stripping the Churches of beauty and giving the few measly bucks to the poor because she understood that meant taking beauty away from every beggar who could walk into St. Patrick’s Cathedral for free and putting it in a rich man’s private collection or a museum where only the wealthy could see it.

I'm not quite sure she should be canonised, I am more sure, she should be read. As with her British and male more or less counterpart, Chesterton.

Hat tip to Mark Shea for the blog post! Someone care to tell him, he has blocked me since St George's day 2014?

Here is that story ...
