"When faced with the new horrors confronting our world today one comes back time and again to ask 'Why'?
"First of all we consider the enemy. Within the world there is an
irrational rage that surges out into violence. One cannot enter into any
kind of discussion with such violent and irrational rage.
"When faced with it I am reminded of the sub human beasts in the film I Am Legend. There
was no reasoning with them. They were demon possessed, and demons, by
definition, are unable to reason. They are beyond reason because they
are creatures of the lie and their Father is the Father of Lies.
This is the irrational rage which has always thrown itself, howling, vociferous and vicious at the children of Light. . . ."
In a recent commentary, Father Dwight Longenecker (parish priest at Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Church,
Greenville, SC) reflected on a Christian response to irrational rage and on why "only the Catholic faith continues to celebrate and bring into the
present moment every day the one, full, final sacrifice of the Cross."
