Comment: Marie Dennis, co-president of Pax Christi International, said she has been in the business of protesting for many decades.  "Catholics have a record of being visible in the streets, as we are today, and being open to deep, meaningful reflection about what it means to be faithful."

Well said, Marie!  Many Catholics including priests and religious marched with Dr. M.L. King.  Unfortunately, there were also many Catholics who were actively opposed to the Civil Rights movement.  Many bishops received angry letters from white Catholics demanding that a priest or nun be disciplined for associating with Dr. King and his movement.
