At one point he said, if he were to have a gravestone, that he would say: "He became a part of the anti-Vietnam and anti-nuclear movement." By chance, my interview about him, for release this Father's Day weekend, was posted today.

Proud to have published Roger’s “Jesus Symbol of God” in 1999 . When he was censured by the Vatican he told me: “Better theologians than me have been disciplined.” “…And become cardinals,” I added.

Anne Frank, who was born June 12 1929, would be 94 today. The date of her death in 1945 in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp is unknown. My reflection during the pandemic on #MastersofSocialIsolation. “I want to go on living after my death.” That wish was fulfilled.

#MastersofSocialIsolation #10. In a time when Jewish children in Europe were hunted like vermin, Anne Frank did not choose her isolation. With her own and another family she was confined for 2 years in a “secret annex” in Amsterdam, never going out, keeping still all day.

The Kingdom of God is like a publisher who was checking out of a hotel and couldn’t find his glasses. He scoured his room and got a doorman to look behind the bar and when he found them tangled in cord of a hair dryer he told everyone on Twitter so they could rejoice with him! 😎

From my Cat Stevens phase— 1978, the next day my Catholic Worker brother Brian Terrell and I were arrested blocking railroad tracks at the Rocky Flats nuclear plant in CO. Where they make nuclear triggers for H bombs. I spent 16 days fasting in solitary in the Jefferson Co jail.

All theologies, including a theology of liberation, “are not worth one act of faith, love, hope, committed …in active participation to liberate humankind from everything that dehumanizes it and prevents it from living according to the will of God.”
