Love Is What Matters: Writings on Peace and Nonviolence (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780966978360)

Fr. Louie Vitale is a Franciscan priest who has sought to put the vision of peacemaking articulated and practiced by Francis and Clare of Assisi into practice. A former provincial of the St. Barbara Province in the western United States, Vitale was a co-founder of the Nevada Desert Experience-a spiritually-based movement that sought to end nuclear weapons testing at the Nevada Test Site-and Pace e Bene Nonviolence Service. As a long-time social activist, he has engaged in civil disobedience for nearly four decades in pursuit of peace and justice, and has been arrested more than 400 times.
