Comrades Stumbling Along: The Friendship of Catherine De Hueck Doherty and Dorothy Day As Revealed Through Their Letters

by Robert Wild (Editor)

The causes for the canonization of both Catherine de Hueck Doherty and Dorothy Day have been opened with the trust that, with the grace of God, these two great laywomen saints will one day be recognized by the Church as outstanding Saints of God. They had quite different personalities and approaches to almost everything. Their relationship, however, as proved by the correspondence between them over many years is a profound example of how Christ can bind together people of very diverse temperaments and backgrounds and unite them in love by the power of the Holy Spirit, thus inspiring us all.

[Elyse Hayes · Rating 5 out of 5]

Charming, slim book showing the affectionate and inspiring relationship between these two Catholic women. They did not get to spend too much time together, but when they did see each other, it was an occasion for joy. Some of their letters were saved, and put together here by Father Robert Wild, who knew Catherine Doherty personally. These two women had very different personalities, but each in their own way were giants of the 20th century, living "the Gospel without compromise" and inspiring those around them. Both are up for sainthood, and rightfully so.
