Memory Eternal: Richard John Neuhaus

Richard John Neuhaus 1936-2009

It is a sad day for our brothers and sisters in the Roman Catholic Church. Fr. Neuhaus was a well known theologian and convert to Rome from Lutheranism. He also underwent a long process of conversion from theological and political liberal to outspoken conservative. As the founder and editor of First Things we may assume that his legacy will live on for many yeas. Fr. Neuhaus reposed at the age of 72 after a long battle with cancer.

Grant O Lord, thy servant Richard, blessed repose and make his memory to be eternal.

Memory Eternal! Memory Eternal! Memory Eternal!

Post Scriptum: I note that Owen the Ochlophobist has a short obit of his own and he has some interesting things to say. I would encourage a glance. There is some food for thought towards the end.
