Richard John Neuhaus, 1936-2009
Our great, good friend is gone.
Fr. Richard John Neuhaus slipped away today, January 8, shortly before 10 o’clock, at the age of seventy-two. He never recovered from the weakness that sent him to the hospital the day after Christmas, caused by a series of side effects from the cancer he was suffering. He lost consciousness Tuesday evening after a collapse in his heart rate, and soon after, in the company of friends, he died.

:( I'm sorry for his passing but glad for him now that he goes to be with God eternally. requiescat in pace, pater.
May he rest in the Peace of Our Lord.
A covert to the Catholic Church after being a long-time, former Lutheran pastor, and converter of many; former Canadian, impetus behind Catholics and Evangelicals together, wit, intellectual, regular Joe, lover of New York, and wonderful writer and Editor of First Things, I counted on Father Neuhaus as a spritual mentor for years. I shall miss him greatly.
What a blessing he is! Pray for us, beloved father.
