Father Berrigan

Yesterday I met a well known Jesuit, Father Daniel Berrigan, who was speaking at my Godfather's memorial lecture at Fordham. In case you don't recognize the name, Father Berrigan is a well known proponent of Liberation Theology. He's most recognized for his antiwar protests and is currently the poet in residence at Fordham. He's quite elderly now, but it was still an interesting look at a theological area that I know nothing about. The man had a profound influence on my godfather's life, particularly during his time as a Jesuit. My godfather held very revolutionary positions, the depth of which I don't really know, but which eventually led him to leave the order despite his intense spirituality.
