Berrigan died at Murray-Weigel Hall, a Jesuit health care community in New York City after a "long illness," according to Michael Benigno, a spokesman for the Jesuits USA Northeast Province.

"He died peacefully," Benigno said.

If there’s nothing good to say about someone then don’t say anything.

So here’s what i have to say about Berrigan:

Ho Chi Minh said we will not win this war in the battlefields of Vietnam. We will win it in the streets of the America. He was right and the Berrigan brothers were 2 of his best street soldiers.

Since you said it, I don’t have to. It’s great he’s getting there just as summer sets in when it gets REALLY hot.

Fortunately, there are enough of us older people still around, who remember him and what he did. I doubt that those younger than us even know the name.

He was the Devil's own, on earth, now he has joined his MASTER!

Many years ago I ran across a picture of him being arrested, I think, on Shelter Island. The caption was great. Which man is free, or something like that.

This may be the picture

The Devil's own, in a Catholic frock.

How he ever remained a priest in good standing is beyond me. That he was never excommunicated or perp walked out of any church told me all I need to know about the false representatives of Christ.....of which there are a multitude.

Too bad that deranged freedom killing scum lived so long. He helped destroy millions of innocent lives far superior to his own.

A true left wing devil.
