Radical Catholics Day & Maurin maintain a House of Hospitality and an Easton, Pa. farm commune for Catholic proletarians. What they call "the dynamite of Catholic teaching" and submit as an alternative to Communism is contained in the labor encyclicals of Popes Leo XIII and Pius XI, the most timely point being that both pontiffs agreed that workers...
