Editor in Chief Emeritus of First Things.


Adapted from: the April 2009 special In Memorium edition of his publication First Things.

Francis Cardinal Arinze:

"I am deeply touched by the death of the Reverend Father Richard John Neuhaus.

"I have known him for more than ten years and learned to admire him for his zeal for the Catholic faith, his intellectual robustness, his courage, and his love of the Church.

"Please accept my heartfelt condolences on his death, together with my promise of a continued remembrance of him at Holy Mass so that he will have eternal rest."

Pedro Rivas, Universidad de La Coruña, España:

"I am a Spanish fan of First Things and especially of The Public Square.

"I don't know the appropriate English words, but let me use the Latin ones: Requiem aeternam dona ei, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat ei..."

Which we more or less translate on Pedro's behalf thusly: Requiem aeternam = Eternal rest ; dona ei, Domine = grant unto him, oh Lord; et lux perpetua luceat ei = and may perpetual light shine upon him.
