From Wikipedia:
“Colman McCarthy (March 24, 1938 – February 27, 2026) was an American journalist, teacher, lecturer, pacifist, progressive, anarchist and long-time peace activist.”
The National Catholic Reporter, reported: “Colman McCarthy, columnist, author, educator and peace activist, died Feb. 27 in the Dominican Republic, where he has lived with one of his sons since 2022. He was 87.
4500 Van Ness Street, NW
Colman, from a perch on the op-ed page of The Washington Post from 1969 to 1997, became, in the estimation of the Washingtonian Magazine, the “liberal conscience” of the paper. Alternately witty, iconoclastic, deeply principled and at times self-effacing, his writing covered politics, religion and even sports, always through the lens of social justice imperatives. From 1999 to 2021, he wrote regular columns for the National Catholic Reporter.”
