Philip Francis Berrigan SSJ (October 5, 1923 – December 6, 2002) was an American peace activist and Catholic priest[1][2][3] with the Josephites.[4][5] He engaged in nonviolent, civil disobedience in the cause of peace and nuclear disarmament and was often arrested.[6][7]

In 1973, he married a former nun, Elizabeth McAlister. Both were subsequently excommunicated by the Catholic Church before being reinstated. For eleven years of their 29-year marriage they were separated by one or both serving time in prison.[8][6]
