Wendt's defense was led by Lawyer and Lay Theologian William Stringfellow, who harbored Daniel Berrigan in 1970 when the Jesuit was a fugitive from the FBI.

Here are the diverse saints and satans of human history: Gandhi and Hitler, Leonardo da Vinci and Martin Bormann, Albert Schweitzer and Richard Wagner...
...personal approval: Kung should neither write nor say anything further to undermine the defined teachings on church authority. Technically, the statement was a monitum, a warning against serious error. Such silencings, and sterner measures, were once routine.
