Richard John Neuhaus, Lutheran pastor turned Catholic priest, semi-liberal turned conservative culture warrior, founding editor of “First Things” who because a sort of William F. Buckley for Christian intellectuals, died yesterday.
See the tributes by Anthony Sacramone , Mollie Hemingway, and Paul McCain. And thanks to Peter Leavitt at yesterday’s “Theology of the Cross” post for citing Neuhaus’s confession of what he will appeal to at the throne of God; namely, the merits of Christ alone.
