RIP Fr. Daniel Berrigan
Since others note the passing of preachers I've scarcely heard of, this seems appropriate. Beside he wrote much that should be in Verbum.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

From link in prior post:
“The United States was tearing itself apart over civil rights and the war in Southeast Asia when Father Berrigan emerged in the 1960s as an intellectual star of the Roman Catholic "new left," articulating a view that racism and poverty, militarism and capitalist greed were interconnected pieces of the same big problem: an unjust society.”There is a neighborhood in Brussels Belgium with lots of young unemployed members of the Islamic faith where many are being ‘radicalized’. The solution to their radicalization might be giving every person there wanting to work a job that paid a living wage. And doing it tomorrow morning.
Thanks for the link to this visionary.

In my younger days, I never understood the Berrigans. A war to stop ....
Almost 50 years later, my favorite Logos PB is my Dorothy Day resource. She paralleled the Berrigans.
She didn't get in trouble like Jane did. Her Bishop had a lot of patience, I guess. Logos would never carry these folks, I don't think.
