Daniel Berrigan was an American Jesuit priest, anti-war activist, and poet.

Like many others during the 1960’s, Berrigan’s active protest against the Vietnam War earned him both scorn and admiration, but it was his participation in the Catonsville Nine that made him famous. It also landed him on the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s “most wanted list”, on the cover of Time magazine, and in prison.

His own particular form of militancy and radical spirituality in the service of social and political justice was significant enough, at that time, to “shape the tactics of resistance to the Vietnam War” in the United States.
