    The Case of Cardinal McIntyre

    Summary: Elaborates on the Catholic Worker relationship with Church authorities over many years and the “conflict of freedom and authority.” Reaffirms the laity’s freedom of conscience and leadership role in action against injustice. Reproaches “our shepherds” who fail to preach the dignity of all as children of God and that “all men are brothers.” (DDLW #196), The Catholic Worker, Jul 1964, pp. 1, 6, 8
