Media spin on terror and religion

Wednesday, July 27, 2016
What are Catholics thinking, after reading the vague reports of the latest terror incident in France? Was the priest literally killed in his liturgical vestments, the vestments in which he will be buried? Did he die trying to protect the Sacraments on the altar? Does his death make him, in the church’s eyes, a martyr? What damage was done to the church itself? Were there acts of iconoclasm? Just asking.
