[edit] Info needed re Categories

I was working on moving articles from Category:Nonviolence into Category:Nonviolence advocates when I came across this article. Obviously, as a Catholic Worker, Maurin personally subscribed to Nonviolence as a philosophy, but there's nothing in the article to support categorizing him as a "Nonviolence advocate". It would be helpful if somebody could add some text that supports his inclusion in that category (assuming, of course, that he did, in fact, actively promote the use of nonviolence in social justice struggles).

I also have a question about the nature of Maurin's connection with the Industrial Workers of the World. Again, the article says nothing about this. Was he in fact a member of the IWW? If so, the article should be placed in Category:Industrial Workers of the World members. I'll check back in a few days to see if my questions have been answered. Thanks in advance.
