      I know! I thought of that after I posted. Just last week a priest was killed on our border. In Poland as well.

    Evil is universal. In the 1990's Buffalo had two priests murdered in rectories during robberies. One was tortured terribly. A nun who ran a halfway house was also murdered. Each one was serving their adopted community and their murder took place during a robbery.
