What would the Catholic Church look like if Catholics lived the “radical roots” of their faith? Maybe something like the Catholic Worker Movement, Colin Miller writes in his new book, We Are Only Saved Together: Living the Revolutionary Vision of Dorothy Day and the Catholic Worker Movement. This is the second installment excerpting the introduction to his book.

We have all heard that following the Gospel is supposed to fill us with joy, Colin Miller writes in his new book, We Are Only Saved Together: Living the Revolutionary Vision of Dorothy Day and the Catholic Worker Movement. But far too many people experience the Church as little more than superficial “friend dating” and low-commitment workshops and service opportunities. In the Catholic Worker’s vision of personalism, community, good work, and the pursuit of justice and mercy at a real personal cost, these people might just find the “something more” they have been looking for.
