At a funeral mass Feb. 1, Father Robert Drinan was eulogized by the likes of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., and Georgetown President John DeGioia. But Drinan may be missed most of all at Georgetown Law, where he was faculty for 26 years, from the time he left Congress on orders from Pope John Paul II. At Georgetown, Drinan was a looming, productive presence even in his twilight years.

When Father Drinan was in town, the door to his famously cluttered office at Georgetown University Law Center was always open.
A parade of colleagues, their kids, law students, their parents, visiting dignitaries, lawyers and journalists would come through the door, and no matter what he was doing, Drinan would clear off a chair, find a piece of candy for the children, and turn his attention, deeply, to the visitor before him.
