The Catholic Worker Movement
I'm proud to call myself Catholic, yet I'm ashamed of how my church has handled itself on social issues over the last few years. In the 2004 election, it seemed like the Church was advocating single issue voting on the abortion issue. Issues of peace and justice were swept over the table. Other issues, like unequal distribution of wealth and the effects of globalism and environmental destruction also don't seem to merit much discussion on Sundays.
In 44 years of being a Catholic, including spending most of my education in Catholic schools, I never heard of the Catholic Worker Movement. Here's a link to the basic Wikipedia article if you are interested in learning about it.
