Except of course when the atrocity is done by a non Judeo-Christian then they are just plain evil.<BR/>Or are you saying that being consumed by sin is a mental illness? If I gave the impression I had no love for Cho and his victims this is not true. The Divine Mercy Chaplet was said for all who died that day. The point of my post was to bring out we have lost our sense of sin, something Chesterton would agree with. Today’s Church makes the mistake of preaching with only one hand, the hand of love. God came with two hands love and justice. We need more two fisted priests.<BR/>Chesterton reminds us frequently that we live in a fallen world and when we forget that fact we are surprised at the actions of man - sometimes fatally surprised. <BR/>I once heard Fr. Benedict Groeschel, say “If every Catholic truly took advantage of the sacrament of confession 95% of the psychologists would be unemployed.” This was the remark of his teacher (a non-Catholic) made to him.<BR/>AlanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11415684.post-74454240481403023142007-04-27T21:33:00.000-04:002007-04-27T21:33:00.000-04:00Cho was mentally ill.

You would have represented them both much better if you had discussed how we should reach out and love the rejected and lonely misfits in our society.
