17 May 1968 9 people walked into a Selective Service Office, took hundreds of draft files from a cabinet, took them outside, doused them with homemade napalm and burned them in the name of peace.

  • My Name is Chris Farlekas and I was the Photographer in this Video. It was a moment in time that has influenced my life for the last 40 years. I look back upon this day with great honor.

  • Father Daniel and Philip Berrigan were the real deal as far as the Catholic left goes. Americans need to wake up, grow some balls, and start doing things like this again under the watchful eye of the Holy Spirit.

  • Anyone know where this happened in Catonsville?

  • @thebluefish177 I doubt anyone knows, I would ask someone you know who would remember seeing this in the news.

  • hello i am an 8th grader and am doing a oral history project can anyone give me contact information 2 any of the living catonsville 9

  • People do both. Ask any Orthodox jewish rabbi today. Both Orthodox Christianity and Orthodox judaism has (or had) Holy tradition as part of it. To destroy our tradition is to destroy our culture and destroy our identity as a people. Social justice is good, but destroying music which reflects social justice is wrong Traditional plainchant, gregorian, byzantine, etc, this is the only music today that contains the antiphons, responsories, kontakion about the lives of our martyrs, saints and heroes

  • @LiturgicalChants So what you're saying is, all Jesus did was prayed and chanted?

  • @rebelrider2330 Thank you so much for allowing us to be a witness to this!

  • If the Catholic left had not ruined the traditions of liturgical chant, I would probably respect the video tremendously. As it is, I have a certain admirationt, but am a bit suspicious. The power of prayer is beyond this sort of action ultimately...

    In fact a hands on approach can be as much a sign as lack of faith .as full of it. Holy spirit or demonic spirit..you decide.

  • Inspirational to all young dissenters.

  • people should learn from this

  • have a final on this tomorrow!
