Description
Summary:In this interview, longtime Catholic Worker Tom Sullivan speaks about a wide range of topics regarding Dorothy Day, Peter Maurin, and The Chicago Catholic worker, which he helped found. Specifically, Sullivan describes Day and publication of The long loneliness, her interest in the arts, her total commitment to the Catholic Worker idea, and how her absolute pacifist stance led to rifts in the movement from the late 1930s through World War II. Sullivan discusses The Chicago Catholic worker and its primary early figures, John Bowers and John Cogley, among others. Other topics include Peter Maurin's visits to Chicago, traveling with Maurin to speak on college campuses, and whether Maurin was a pacifist. Interviewed by Francis J. Sicius, with participation from James and Joan O'Gara. Full transcripts available; audio only for two of three parts available.
