Is dorothy day a saint?

If the question means "Has Dorothy Day been formally recognized as a saint?", the answer is not yet. The proposal that she be formally recognized as such by the Roman Catholic Church has been made by the Archdiocese of New York. The Vatican has accepted the nomination. As a result, she is now officially "Servant of God Dorothy Day." If eventually she is beatified, the title would become "Blessed Dorothy Day." The final step would be to name her "Saint Dorothy Day." But if the question-- "Is Dorothy Day a saint?" -- is taken as put, then the answer is: a great many people regard her as someone in whom a heroic degree of witness to Christ's Gospel was evident. That is to say, yes, she is a saint. The Catholic Church would be the first to say that there are far more saints than those named in the Church's Calendar of Saints.
