He will be missed by those who loved reading him in some of the magazines he wrote. I enjoyed his writings and his books. His fearless writings on the Church and its controversial issues brought him into conflict with American church authorities. It was because of his writing that I liked reading The National Catholic Reporter and the magazine America. he also provided theological perspectives through his books.He also explored many issues confronting priests and through his novels. The church, particularly American Catholicism, will be poorer in his death.
