When I began this blog in 2001, I was appalled by President Bush's headlong rush to an illegal war (we were not in fact under attack). As time wore on and Bush began his assault on the Constitution and any people bold enough to criticize, I believed that "the republic is endangered more by actions of our own government than by those of any terrorist." With the election of a high-minded, compassionate, intelligent man like Barack Obama, my fears have ceased.

The Berrigan brothers, a pair of anti-war Catholic priests, were an inspiration to me. Although in my youth in the '60s I did not understand much of what they were up to, I felt glad somehow that they were there, speaking up.
Marita McComiskey sent out word of his death Dec. 6, 2002 from cancer.
If you can get down to Baltimore, the wake and funeral will be held at St. Peter Claver Church in West Baltimore, (1546 North Fremont Avenue, Baltimore MD 21217); calling hours are 4-8 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 8 with a circle of sharing about Phil's life at 6 p.m.; funeral is Monday, December 9, 12 p.m.
I offer my condolences to his family and friends.

Baltimore, MD - Phil Berrigan died December 6, 2002 at about 9:30 PM, at Jonah House, a community he co-founded in 1973, surrounded by family and friends. He died two months after being diagnosed with liver and kidney cancer, and one month after deciding to discontinue chemotherapy. Approximately thirty close friends and fellow peace activists gathered for the ceremony of last rites on November 30, to celebrate his life and anoint him for the next part of his journey. Berrigan's brother and co-felon, Jesuit priest Daniel Berrigan officiated.--Voice4Change.org for further information and a retrospective of his life and work.
