\"\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

John C. Cort (1913\u20132006), was a longtime Catholic writer and activist. He was based in metropolitan Boston, Massachusetts. He fathered 10 children with his wife, Helen Haye Cort, and he still cantored in his local parish at the age of 92. Soon after graduating from Harvard College<\/a> (class of 1935) and converting to Catholicism<\/a>, he was moved by a speech by Dorothy Day<\/a>. He was one of the earliest Catholic Workers who started at the Main Street House in 1936. He worked with the Catholic Worker<\/a> for a few years. For several years he edited the Association of Catholic Trade Unionists\u2019 Labor Leader. He served on the editorial staff of Commonweal<\/a> magazine from 1943 to 1959. He was an assistant director of the Peace Corps<\/a>. In the 1970s he directed the Model Cities Program<\/a> in Lynn, Massachusetts<\/a>. He wrote several books and articles for magazines. He was the founding editor of the Religion and Socialism Commission\u2019s Religious Socialism magazine. He contributed to the American Friends Service Committee<\/a>\u2018s Peacework Magazine. He was described as \u201cpersonally conservative but socially and politically radical, well-read but never pedantic, funny, chivalrous, of broad culture but a man of the people.\u201d Unlike most Catholic Workers, John Cort was not a pacifist, but he did oppose the Vietnam War<\/a> using the Just War<\/a> theory. <\/div>\n
