Irish-born man nears end of fast in Milwaukee cathedral
Irish-born Michael Cullen, 25, sits in a Milwaukee cathedral awaiting morning and the end of a hunger and vigil protest against Vietnam. Since Tuesday he has survived on water and a half-bowl of rice. He reads the Old Testament by night, prays, and carries a quiet, hopeful faith while fearing for his wife and child. Cullen left a six-year study at St Thomas Seminary to live in voluntary poverty and run a charity refuge in Milwaukee. He says the war sickens him as Holy Week approaches.
