Judge: “Father Berrigan, regardless of the outcome of these hearings, will you promise the court that you will refrain from such acts in the future?”
Berrigan: ”Your honor, it seems to me that you are asking the wrong question.”
Judge: ”Okay, Father Berrigan, what do you think is the proper question?”
Berrigan: ”Well, your honor, it appears to me that you should ask President Bush if he’ll stop making missiles; and if he’ll stop making them, then I’ll stop banging on them and you and I can go fishing.”
