多萝西·戴是现代美国天主教会和平主义思想的奠基人,她的思想与行动对现代美国天主教社会思想影响十分深远。西班牙内战时期多萝西第一次系统表达她对战争和暴力问题的看法。在这场争论中,她站在了美国天主教会领袖和绝大部分天主教媒体的对立面,没有盲目支持佛朗哥。她从信仰和基督教人道主义,而不是意识形态和现实的地缘政治利益出发,去看待人类社会中普遍存在的战争与暴力。 Dorothy Day was the founder of the pacifist thought of the modern American Catholic Church. Her thoughts and actions had a profound impact on the modern American Catholic social thought. For the first time, Dorothy, during the Spanish Civil War, systematically expressed her views on the issue of war and violence. In this debate, she stood on the opposite of the Catholic leaders of the United States and the vast majority of Catholic media, without blindly backing Franco. Starting from her belief in Christian humanism and not from the geopolitical interests of ideology and reality, she looks at wars and violence prevailing in human society.
