The United States was tearing itself apart over civil rights and the war in Southeast Asia when Father Daniel J. Berrigan emerged in the 1960s as an intellectual star of the Roman Catholic "new left," articulating a view that racism and poverty, militarism and capitalist greed were interconnected pieces of the same big problem: an unjust society.
--Daniel Lewis (third paragraph of obituary; New York Times; April 30, 2016)
