Nice! I'd thought of that this year as "we," a group of pagans, started a Catholic Worker Village here in so-called Mena, Arkansas on unceded Caddo native land. We considered that "catholic" means universal and that "pagan" means people of the earth. They both imply everyone (even the rock people and animal people and plant people). So we proudly consider ourselves Catholic Workers. I also considered a spin on words poetically: Chthonic Working Class. To understand ourselves as a class of people who aren't bosses nor landlords and to proudly remain in this cooperative people. And then to hold true to the ancestors and deities who dwell below in the underworldly depths of emotion and soul. We call forward a pluralist age in the CW movement and honor all solidarity-centered paths. This is a oneness too, we feel. https://www.ic.org/directory/snake-village/

I might add, if it's not out of line, that LEO Tolstoy declared the two types of people to be 1 those who love only themselves, and those who love everyone.

L ove to all.
