Distributist, journalist, and Catholic Land Association collaborator, Kenrick was one of the earliest thinkers and writers on Distributism in the early 1920s. With Harold Robbins, he drafted the pamphlet, Unemployment: A Distributist Solution. It became a milestone for the Distributist movement, bringing Distributist ideas into practical realization. Kenrick also contributed a chapter to the important anthology Flee to the Fields, which served as a manifesto for the Catholic Land Associations.
