Summary: Asserts she would not register for the draft, even as a conscientious objector, because it is the first step toward conscription, which is incompatible with Christianity. Answers common objections to her stance, especially specious appeals to Scripture. Endorses tax resistance if possible. (DDLW #222) The Catholic Worker, Jan 1943, pp. 1, 4

Summary: A general summary of The Catholic Worker’s tenth year–update on the status of houses and farms (open and closed), marriages, births, deaths; whereabouts of workers; publications; her travels. Notes the impact of World War II on members of the movement, including the status of conscientious objectors and conscription protestors. Underlines that houses of hospitality and farms are an attempt at applying a personalist, communitarian philosophy in living out the works of mercy. (DDLW #221) The Catholic Worker, Jan 1943, pp. 4, 6
