Frankly, I do not believe that this category is well-conceived. Many of the names placed in this list would dispute being dubbed either Catholic or socialist. Dorothy Day would not have referred to herself as a socialist, but as a Christian anarchist. I can find no sourcing of Gustavo Gutierrez describing himself as a socialist. Some of the political figures in the list would not be regarded as Catholic by church authorities. I would recommend restricting inclusion in this category to those who would define themselves as a Catholic socialist, not those for whom the terminology is applied by their critics.
