The thing many (most?) people don't realize about Catholic leadership is that forgiveness, reconciliation, and loving one's enemy (You know, that little thing Jesus said specifically in the Bible?) is first and foremost in their policy, as well as never giving up hope that even the worst sinner can someday repent if given the chance. Revenge has no place in this thinking. Most people on this board (forget it--most PEOPLE, period) don't get that.
This is a stumbling block for me--I'm into retaliation esp for people like SH and beating the repentance out of them. So I've got a ways to go on this line of thought.
