We are agents in communion, in communities constituted by shared practices and language. We do things with words.
Words affect our relationships with one another.
Mr. Vallely suggests our right response is for the Catholics among us to pray the rosary. Although a number of Mr. Vallely's claims may be supportable, i.e. the efficacy of praying the rosary or evils made permissible by forms of rationalized religion, he commits a number of injustices not the least of which is promoting a memory unfaithful to God's work among His people. All Christians, Protestant and Catholic alike, share in the tradition of members who in their faith felt obligated to kill. They also share in the tradition of pacifism. To futher cause division by suggesting that one or the other of these groups is the facet of the Christian community responsible for the sin of Mr. McVeigh is unhelpful to the extreme.
