Jesuit priest and poet whose defiant protests helped shape the tactics of opposition to the Vietnam War and landed him in prison

The United States was tearing itself apart over civil rights and the war in Southeast Asia when Father Berrigan emerged in the 1960s as an intellectual star of the Roman Catholic “new left,” articulating a view that racism and poverty, militarism and capitalist greed were interconnected pieces of the same big problem: an unjust society.
It was an essentially religious position, based on a stringent reading of the Scriptures that some called pure and others radical.
But it would have explosive political consequences as Father Berrigan; his brother Philip, a Josephite priest; and their allies took their case to the streets with rising disregard for the law or their personal fortunes.
A defining point was the burning of Selective Service draft records in Catonsville, Md., and the subsequent trial of the so-called Catonsville Nine, a sequence of events that inspired an escalation of protests across the country; there were marches, sit-ins, the public burning of draft cards and other acts of civil disobedience.

Jerry Berrigan, a Catholic Peace Activist, Dies at 95 By DANIEL E. SLOTNIK NYT AUG. 2, 2015
https://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/03/
Catholic peace activist who, like his better known brothers was arrested frequently for protesting the Vietnam War and other conflicts
(...)
Mr. Berrigan was a quieter counterpart to his brothers, the former Josephite priest Philip and the Jesuit priest and author Daniel.
The two of them became international antiwar figures after they participated in the burning of Selective Service draft records in Catonsville, Md., on May 17, 1968.
The trial of the Catonsville Nine, as they were known, helped galvanize protesters across the country.
