Called to be Saints. John Hugo, The Catholic Worker, and a Theology of Radical Christianity (Marquette Studies in Theology)

Called to be Saints offers a theological and historical analysis of the role that Fr. John Hugo and the retreat play in understanding Dorothy Day and the radical Christianity she put forth - a notion of the Christian life that remains relevant today. Included are Dorothy Days original notebooks, featured for the first time.

~
Pope Francis surprised many when he included Dorothy Day and Thomas Merton as examples of great Americans he wished to extol in his address to Congress in September 2015. While perhaps better known than Merton, adding Day to the pantheon of great figures in American history was certainly significant. Indeed, since her death in 1980, there has been a steadily growing recognition of the importance of Dorothy Day along with a steadily growing body of scholarship on her. Absent from all this study and promotion of Day and her causes has been much attention on Fr. John Hugo and the retreat that exerted such a profound effect on her in the 1940s. Called to be Saints offers a theological and historical analysis of the role that Fr. John Hugo and the retreat play in understanding Dorothy Day.
