When Pope Francis, addressed Congress in 2015, he talked about four Americans who set examples and represented America's cultural tradition: Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Jr., Dorothy Day, and Thomas Merton. Daniel Horan wrote that Merton "... has been remembered as a spiritual writer, a mystic, a monk, a poet, a social critic, a champion of justice, an artist, a proponent of Christian nonviolence, and someone whose literary output was simply extraordinary."
