I really miss Fr. Neuhaus’s writing. It was educational, informative, and a joy to read. (I’m not taking anything away from the great writing displayed currently in FIRST THINGS, but Fr. Neuhaus was special.) I saw FT for sale at a magazine shop in 1992, thought it looked interesting, and bought it. Immediately after reading Fr. Neuhaus, I knew that I must read this every month. I can still feel the intellectual excitement when I first read him. RIP.

Many thanks to Robert George for his tribute of Fr Neuhaus. I am Lutheran (Missouri Syn) and discovered that Fr Neuhaus was a one time Lutheran Pastor. His tribute revealed a man who followed Christ and was filled with Holy Spirit, a person who looked at others in a way that transcended any nationalistic considerations. We are all resident aliens here looking for that far better country. Fr Neuhaus seemed to want to give people a taste of it here as well as showing them the road to journey tord that fair city.
I am curious however as to the reason for his conversion to Catholism?
