Fr. Richard John Neuhaus, 1936-2009

It happened earlier today, after a lengthy battle with cancer.

I could never do this incredible priest justice in a lifetime of writing, much less a single blog post. From his regular commentary on EWTN (including the death of John Paul II and election of Benedict XVI), to his numerous books, and to his numerous contributions as the driving force behind First Things magazine, he will be sorely missed.

This article, fittingly enough, comes from the First Things online magazine.

Requiescat in pace, Father.
