Carmen Trotta, 40, is a leading member of Dorothy Day's Catholic Worker movement (www.catholicworker.org). Carmen has lived and worked at the Catholic Worker's St. Joseph's House on the Lower East Side of Manhatten since 1988. This hospitality house was founded by Dorothy Day in 1933 and offers shelter to the homeless and a soup kitchen for the homeless of New York City.. The Catholic Worker movement has been a 70 year experiment in radical Christianity based on community living, the acts of mercy and nonviolent resistance to war making. A major influence on Carmen has been his long time friend Fr. Daniel Berrigan SJ who was inprisoned during the Vietnam War period for burning draft cards. Along with his late brother Philip, Daniel Berrigan influenced the pacifist Catholic Worker movement dramatically.
Catholic Workers were imprisoned during World war 2 for draft resistance and were the first people to burn their draft cards publicly during the Vietnam War. The priests Dan & Phil Berrigan then intiated a series of nonviolent raids on draft boards destroying thousands of raft cards they viewed as "human hunting licenses". After many years in prison, the Berrigans emerged to intiate the "plowshares" nmovement of nonviolent acts of direct disarmament of weapon systems (www.plowsharesactions.org) . Many of the participants in plowshares actions have come from Dorothy Day's Catholic Worker movement. Trials have resulted in the occasional acquittal, but most often in convictions and prison sentences ranging from 1-18 years.
There are presently 5 Catholic Workers awaiting trial in Ireland for disarming a US Navy war plane at Shannon Airport in February 2002 (www.ploughsharesireland.org). A Catholic Worker hospitality house recently opened in Rialto. There are over 120 Catholic Worker communities in the United States, Australia, Canada, Mexico and Europe.
Carmen Trotta will be addressing a public meeting at the Teachers Club, Parnell Square 7.30 pm Oct. 26th. Carmen will lead a protest t Shannon Airport on Haloween - Sunday October 31st.- agains the U.S. of the airport by the U.S. military in their invasion of Iraq.
