The Catholic intellectual. He was 83 years old. I enjoyed reading his columns and commentary although I never read any of his books.<\/p>\n

This is a press release from the Catholic league, and below is a short video from Fr. Robert Sirico.<\/p>\n

Bill Donohue comments on the death of Michael Novak:
 
Michael Novak was more than a brilliant and dedicated Catholic, his range of scholarship was astounding. Theologian, sociologist, economist, political scientist\u2014he was all of these and more.
 
I have many fond memories of my exchanges with Mike. He was courageous and kind, thoughtful and considerate, and always there when you needed him. His commitment to the Catholic League's best interests meant a great deal to me and to the organization; he served on our board of advisors for over 20 years.
 
God bless Michael Novak. He will surely be missed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
