Talk:Daniel Berrigan

message: *Daniel and his brother Philip were... twice nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Being nominated for the Peace Prize is an honor, but it is not official and not necessarily prestigious. Any national legislator or about a third of the university professors in the world can make a nomination, and there have been as many as 140 some years. Nominators are requested to keep their nominations secret, so it's only those wishing publicity who make announcements. Altogether, I see no reason to keep it. No offense to the subject, this is a general Nobel Peace Prize "nominees" issue. -Willmcw 03:51, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Nobel Peace Prize

message: My senior year at Berea College, Daniel Berrigan had just been "sentenced" to teach gratis for a year (or was it a semester?) at Berea College, a sentence he pretty gladly accepted. Perhaps the author of this article could include this interesting fact about Berrigan's life? I was very upset that I was graduating and so could not take his class, but I was able to meet with him in a coffee shop on campus. Fascinating personality to go with a tremendous personal hisotry of activism and authorship. Also, you've left off his excellent book, The Dark Night of Resistance (1971).Soltera 18:55, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Berrigan "served" time at Berea College 

message: This article is peppered with bias. It serves to do nothing but trumpet the greatness of Daniel Berrigan. Wikipedia's goal is not to cast either a white or black light on a given subject, but rather a gray one. I think any reasonable and rational wiki user can quickly recognize the absolute lack of neutrality here. If for some reason you cannot, let me know and I'll compose a list.

text: The facts are clearly presented and referenced. Phrases like "illegally trespassed" are used. So I disagree. I've removed the tag. RossPatterson 20:46, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  NPOV 

message: I deleted this:
Howard Zinn, professor emeritus at Boston University, invited Berrigan to accompany him on a trip to Hanoi to negotiate the release of three U.S. pilots held prisoner by the North Vietnamese. Although the mission had a high chance of success, it was opposed by the FBI on the grounds that it violated their policy of non-negotiation with North Vietnam. J. Edgar Hoover went so far as to publicly call Zinn and Berrigan "traitors". U.S. planes even bombed locations where they were scheduled to be. Despite the opposition, three pilots were returned home. They were the first American POWs released unharmed by the North Vietnamese.
In order for this to be NPOV, the author needs to provide citations, and not original research. If you can provide citations, we still need to adjust the wording to balance it out. Nibblesworth 06:48, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Citations Needed for Material 

message: I know that Berrigan held a position at Cornell University in the late 1960s before he went into hiding from the FBI in 1970. Not sure about the exact dates or job title (Catholic Chaplain?), nor do I have a source. Any help would be appreciated. Notmyrealname 22:06, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

message: "In 1967, Phillip was arrested for non-violent protest and sentenced to six years in prison." No-one gets six years' prison for non-violent protest per se. What was he actually convicted for? Intelligent Mr Toad (talk) 01:35, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

message: Daniel Berrigan is referred to as Father Daniel Berrigan in the photo caption, but nowhere else. This should be changed for uniformity's sake. --Slowlikemolasses (talk) 17:50, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

message: In line with the preceding observation, the article needs more information on Berrigan's current status as a priest.  Is this felon still in good standing with the Society of Jesus?John Paul Parks (talk) 01:45, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Current Status as Priest

message: The "radical priest" undoubtedly refers to a priest like Daniel Berrigan, but the song is fiction; what evidence is there that Paul Simon specifically meant Daniel Berrigan by the "radical priest"? Can you find something to that effect said or written by Paul Simon?HowardJWilk (talk) 03:46, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

thread_title: Middle name

message: I had to remove the following item from the "In Media" section because it needs a citation. 
*Charlie King's song, "The Hammer Has to Fall," from his album, "Vaguely Reminiscent" examines the motivations of the Plowshares 8 (which included Berrigan and his brother Philip) in damaging nuclear weapons with sledgehammers.
I've spent a few hours over the course of the past 2 days trying to locate a source, including the singer's website, which is having networking problems. There's a problem with its Server. Anyhow if you can find the source, please return this item to the "In media" section with the appropriate citation. Christian Roess (talk) 01:09, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

I have taken this from the intro because it didn't fit there. In fact, it was proceeded by a fullstop (period). Maybe someone can place it somewhere if they can work out somewhere appropriate. Jack Upland (talk) 02:06, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
