I didn’t know anything about the late Drinan, who was both a congressman from Boston and a Roman Catholic priest until Pope John Paull II made him step down (priests should be loyal to the Vatican and to God, the Pope reasonably argued).
This was of course, back in the 1970s, when priests like Father Drinan concerned themselves with opposing things like war and torture. Y’know… What Jesus Would Do.
