Richard McSorley (October 2, 1914[1]-October 17, 2002) was a Jesuit priest[2] and peace studies Professor at Georgetown University.
[16] Bill Clinton sent a condolence letter on his death[17] describing him as a “man of great character who always stood by his abiding commitment to promoting and expanding his belief in the cause of peace, fearless in the face of harshest criticism, unwavering in his search for moral reason while inspiring many to do the same.
[19] According to Philip Berrigan, McSorley gave him the homemade napalm recipe that the Catonsville 9 used to burn draft records.
McSorley found in a Special Forces handbook in the Georgetown University Law Center library.
[20] On and off for years he stood in the middle of the Georgetown University campus, protesting its ROTC program, by holding a sign saying "Should we teach life + love or death + hate?"
