Shane,
First, thank you for sharing your father's obituary with us. He sounds like
someone who worked for good and made a difference all of his life.
Thank you also for sending in your information regarding the evoluation of
the Catholic church the past 40 or so years. I remember Pope John 23 being
such a shining light to Catholics at the time. I have a sort of Joni
related question - isn't Thomas Merton someone whom she has said influenced
her? I may be totally mistaken, but if that is true (and I suspect you will
know the answer!) I would be interested in knowing what she has said about
him.
Regarding the Berrigans, I have a slight connection - a cousin-in-law dated
yet another of that family for many years. He was a feisty one, too. ;-)
