It is with great sorrow that I note the passing of Fr. Richard John Neuhaus. Those who have read my Achtung Baby book know that Neuhaus has had a great influence on me. I only met him twice (the last time at William F. Buckley's memorial mass), but he was pretty much a daily presence in my life through the journal which he founded and edited, First Things, and his monthly "Public Square" column therein. I love this photo which shows Fr. Neuhaus relaxing in fine style, with Princeton's (and Morgantown's) Robert George on guitar, and First Things editor J. Bottum on suspenders.
Grant him eternal rest O Lord.
May perpetual light shine upon him.
May he rest in peace.
Amen.
