The CW and Work Discussion October 14th + October Potluck on the 29th

Happy autumn! We hope you'll pay us a visit at 8617 Mora Ln for some fun this October:

The Catholic Worker and Work Discussion

Do we need to get rid of work or is it something to be sanctified? Is the call to "abolish work" not so different from Peter Maurin's vision of an "integrated life"? Is mass production inherently opposed to human dignity?

Join us on October 14th at 6 PM as we compare and contrast some of Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin's thoughts on work (found here) with non-CW Bob Black's essay "The Abolition of Work." (No time for all these readings? Join us anyway!)

Priests and laity alike have lost the concept of work, they have lost a philosophy of labor, as Peter Maurin has always said. They have lost the concept of work, and those who do not know what work in the factory is, have romanticized both it and the workers, and in emphasizing the dignity of the worker, have perhaps unconsciously emphasized the dignity of work which is slavery, and which degrades and dehumanizes man. - Dorothy Day
