The Catholic Workers are pacifist
anarchists who base their beliefs and actions on the
teachings of Jesus within the framework of the Roman
Catholic Church. Dorothy Day (1897-1980) founded and
edited the small but influential Catholic Worker
in 1933; and very suspiciously was the first issue
received by other radicals in Union Square on May Day of
that year. Stark woodcuts by Ade Bethune have adorned the
Catholic Worker for six decades. In the same
tradition are the contributions of Fritz Eichenberg
(1901-1990) from the post-war period.
