Philip Berrigan has spent more than 10 years of his life serving jail and prison sentences all over the country, stemming from convictions for more than 100 acts of civil resistance to war. Not one to complain, Berrigan, 79, is the first to say his has been a wonderful life.
Yet, when the former Josephite priest was recently asked how he was feeling, Berrigan replied "lousy." Unlike most of his previous 35 years, Berrigan has not spent one night in jail in 2002. Instead he has had to deal with a string of medical problems that has left the strapping, 6-foot-1-inch World War II veteran in constant pain and in need of a walker to get around.
