Dignity and Peace

 

Catholic and non-Catholic Southerners alike have reason to mourn the loss of Father James Schall, S.J., who passed away shortly before Easter at the age of 91. 

As an erudite representative of an older generation, Father Schall preserved for the benefit of the 21st-Century a perspective that has been largely swept away with the many communities and neighborhoods upon which said perspective stood.  A teacher at Georgetown University since the late 70’s, Schall sought to draw everyone he could into a kind of conversation with the greatest minds and spirits of the past.
