I wrote about the two separate occasions @newpersonalism.bsky.social visited Delaney Hall in solidarity with those imprisoned and to minister to their families waiting to see them. It struck me how banal the guards were in their cruelty there, and how there will soon be more, bigger prisons like it.
Today the NYU Catholic Center asked “Is it Ethical to be Rich?”.
NPM was there with the answer.
Fr. NYU, O.P. said: “You may have been handed two flyers upon entrance to this event. The flyer with the charts and graphs is ours, the other was handed out by rogue elements."
A prayer service outside a Newark DHS detention center was a reminder that, for Christians, every prison and every tyrant is a temporary thing.

Sr. María José Sirera Oliag's letter to the head of her order (the Esclavas del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús) asking to become a nun-worker (or religious-worker). This request was denied & María José Sirera Oliag left the order. However, she never lost her faith & Christian commitment. [1/4] 🧵
Reminder: tomorrow night!
"She supported workers' councils in the workplaces, autonomous councils, which were called Anti-Capitalist Platforms, whose struggle was carried out through the search for immediate solutions to problems." - El riesgo de la utopía: memoria de María José Sirera Oliag (1934-1982) [4/4]
During her time as a factory worker, she worked under intense police surveillance within the Plataformas Anticapitalistas and other organizations related to the communist, Christian, autonomist, and councilist left (specifically the OIC or Organización de Izquierda Comunista). [3/4]
After leaving the order, she was involved in clandestine Christian and ultraleftist opposition to the Franco regime. [2/4]

J'ajoute ceci, qui date de quelques jours, dans une vibe plus explicitement catholique.
J'invite mes cathos sûrs à regarder l'esthétique mobilisée par ce groupe :

An excerpt from Mary Theresa Moser's essential book The Evolution of the Option for the Poor in France, 1880-1965 (1985) on the hardships and risks that accompanied those Catholics who chose to engage in resistance against the Nazi occupation and the Vichy regime.
