Emmanuel Charles McCarthy

Emmanuel Charles McCarthy (born October 9, 1940)[citation needed] is an American priest of the Melkite Catholic Church, as well as a peace activist and author.

[3] In 1969, he resigned his position as director of the Center for the Study of Nonviolence at Notre Dame after the expulsion (and suspension) of ten students,[2] who had protested against the CIA and recruiters for Dow Chemical.

[4] In 1972, still a layman, he met Father George Benedict Zabelka and beginning the latter's journey to Christian nonviolence; in 1980, an interview between the two men was published in the magazine Sojourners.

In 1987, after swallowing numerous packets of acetaminophen, two-year-old Benedicta was healed of liver failure following a prayer chain to the martyr; her doctor at Massachusetts General Hospital described her recovery as "miraculous".

[9] This was accepted by the Vatican as one of the requisite miracles for canonization, which occurred on October 11, 1998, with McCarthy concelebrating Mass with Pope John Paul II.
