ROCKVILLE CENTRE, N.Y. (AP) — A Roman Catholic priest who gained fame as half of an interfaith “God Squad” duo on television and in a syndicated column has died.

Monsignor Thomas J. Hartman, 69, died late Tuesday at a nursing home in Uniondale.

He had suffered from Parkinson’s disease.

Hartman and Rabbi Marc Gellman teamed up as “The God Squad” on TV and radio and in print for 25 years.

At the height of their popularity in the 1990s, they appeared regularly on ABC’s “Good Morning America” and on Don Imus’ “Imus in the Morning” radio show.
