Description: (American Peace Activist and Catholic Priest)
Philip Berrigan was an American peace activist and Catholic priest with the Josephites, known for his dedication to nonviolent civil disobedience in the cause of peace and nuclear disarmament. His protests often resulted in his arrest. Berrigan later married former nun Elizabeth McAlister, and both were excommunicated from the Catholic Church, though they were later reinstated. Their activism led to periods of separation as they served time in prison.
