RIP Richard John Neuhaus

I'm terribly late on this obituary. Please accept my sincere apologies.

I enjoyed reading Neuhaus at First Things over the years and was shocked to hear of his death.

Raymon J. de Souza wrote about it at The National Post:

"Father Richard John Neuhaus died yesterday -- America's leading religious commentator; Lutheran convert to Catholicism who became a dominant figure in Catholic intellectual life; civil rights activist, Vietnam war protester and pro-life champion; author of landmark books arguing for religious pluralism against secular fundamentalism; pioneer in Christian-Jewish dialogue; interlocutor of popes and presidents; and impresario of the journal, First Things, which readers would read back to front so as to get right to his back pages survey of matters weighty and whimsical."
