Works of Mercy in an Age of “the Giant Triplets of Racism, Extreme Materialism, and Militarism”: Christopher Douçot, co-founder of the Hartford Catholic Worker community

The quote, borrowed from the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., holds as much relevance today as it did more than 50 years ago. For even longer, the Catholic Worker movement has tried to counter-act these triplets in the ways that my guest today describes. Christopher Douçot and his wife, Jackie, co-founded the Hartford Catholic Worker community, and even with a pandemic raging, their work continues. In these times, voices like theirs seem even further in the wilderness than ever, and they need to be heard as much if not more than ever.
