"The penalty good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men." attributed to Plato

"Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing." attributed to Edmund Burke

Seek virtue over violence - love your enemies

"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbour and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your heavenly Father, for He makes His sun rise on the bad and good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust." 
                                                                                                                                         Matthew 5:43-5

Along with many others I have been deeply disturbed by the scenes of celebration and "blood lust" over the recent event in Pakistan. Here is what I think to be a balanced and thoughtful Christian response taken
from The Saint Louis Review - the publication of the Archdiocese of St Louis.
