A former Roman Catholic priest who staged one of the most dramatic
anti-war protests of the 1960s and was arrested at least 100 times,
serving a total of 11 years in prison for his anti-war and anti-nuclear
activities. He may be most famous for leading the "Catonsville 9", a
group that doused a small bonfire of draft records in homemade napalm
at a parking lot on May 17, 1968. Berrigan's brother, the Rev. Daniel
Berrigan, was a member of the group who wrote The Trial of the
Catonsville Nine, a Broadway play in 1971 that was later made into a
movie.
