More Wisdom from Dorothy Day

I didn’t ever see myself as posing a challenge to Church authority. I was a Catholic then, and I am one now, and I hope and pray I die one. I have not wanted to challenge the Church, not on any of its doctrinal positions. I try to be loyal to the Church—to its teachings, its ideals. I love the Church with all my heart and soul. I never go inside a church without thanking God Almighty for giving me a home. The Church is my home, and I don’t want to be homeless.
