@jasonwblakely Anyone ask Day how she felt? She was keenly aware that folk, by and large, don't want the cross. Anything to inoculate ourselves from the demands of the gospel, the illusion of impartiality, the terror of the Incarnation. Religion and idols provide a nice, tidy cover, though, eh?
@ncolloff As here, the prophetic challenge Day embodied is once again reified. A onetime CW myself, I believe she'd be first to insist we need less by way of worshipful beatification and more by the Way of an _actualized_ immanent historical dynamism transforming all of created reality.
