Well, I’m an American Roman Catholic, and I despise what little I know of the IRA, an apparently thoroughly misguided secularist group of brainless idiots. Believe me, there’s NOTHING Catholic about the IRA. Anybody with ANY degree of knowledge of the teachings of Jesus Christ knows that retaliating with hatred and violence to hatred and violence is totally contrary to the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Please, Brothers and Sisters of the Anglican persuasion — or of no persuasion at all besides revulsion at such deeply un-Christian tactics — heed Jesus’ voice in the Gospels to “pray for those who despitefully use you, and persecute you, and do all manner of evil against you falsely,” ostensibly for His sake. “Do good to them that hurt you and pray for them, that they may be loosed from their sins,” just as Jesus teaches everyone who dares call him or herself by the designation “Christian.” This message is posted by your Sister in America, Dolores M.
