  • Quote on Neuhaus' Passing

    "I weep, rather for all the rest of us. As a priest, as a writer, as a public leader in so many struggles, and as a friend, no one can take his place. The fabric of life has been torn by his death, and it will not be repaired, for those of us who knew him, until that time when everything is mended and all our tears are wiped away."—Joseph Bottum, Editor of First ThingsOfficial Site: Richard John Neuhaus, 1936- 2009 (January 8, 2009)
