An inspiring life that my education missed

This is the kind of person we should be holding up as an example of integrity and strength. The film does a fantastic job of showcasing his life and his effect on historical events. A must see!

never heard of this guy

I'm amazed that before streaming this, I'd never heard of this guy. Everybody knew about Fathers Philip and Daniel Berrigan, but this guy was obviously far more of an effective Catholic leader unafraid to speak truth to power. I'd say they should canonize him, but the Vatican is just to much of an ancient politicized bureaucracy for that to ever be contemplated.
