Dorothy Day: Saint?

As we have discussed in class, Dorothy Day has been unanimously suggested for candidacy as a Saint in the Catholic Church by the USCCB.  Please read this article about her sainthood and surprising support of her life by the Archbishop of NY.  In your post, please respond to the following questions:  How do you think saints should be determined?  What is essential to be elevated to such a high level of respect and reverence?  How does the Archbishop's support of Day surprise you?  Or does it make sense that he would support her work?  What does it mean to be a Catholic Saint, really?!
