Today I am saddened by the news that Father Richard John Neuhaus has died. Nate has a subscription to First Things, a publication that he founded in 1990. He always has a section at the back of the magazine titled "The Public Square" where he would comment on current events. It was always a great read being concise, sometimes comical, and always right on the mark.
He was a profound and prolific writer on America and Catholicism. In addition, he had a love for ecumenism and worked towards such ends.
He is well known for profound and, sometimes, cutting remarks about faith, culture, and politics.
You can read some of his writing online.
Here's the wikipedia article on his life and a commentary by Ramond Arroyo.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord and my perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.
