"Daniel Berrigan, a Jesuit priest and peace activist, passed away on Saturday, reports James Martin, SJ, editor-at-large of the Jesuit magazine, America.

“Dan was one of the great Catholics of our time, a champion of social justice and a tireless promoter of peace,” Martin wrote on his Facebook page. “His influence on the peace movement, particularly during the Vietnam War, cannot be overstated, but his aim was not simply peace in Indochina, but peace everywhere.”

Berrigan was one of seven Catholic priests who used napalm to burn draft cards in 1968 in protest against the Vietnam War, according to theNational Catholic Reporter. As a result, he was sentenced to three years in prison."
