Late-Term Abortion Provider Gunned Down In Church

[Don Corleone]

"Unfortunate" is the word Gerry Adams used to describe the recent IRA attacks, he was attacked by politicians accross the board.

In this case I think, tragic, brutal and "betrayal of Christian values" aren't even a good start.

What disturbs me is that I think some people here think this man deserved to die because of what he did, which is a decidedly un-Christian response.

We must be reading different threads. I haven't seen anybody claim he got what he deserved. I personally said I would pray for the repose of his soul, despite how horrific I found his crimes.

Something of a strawman, as he was not hiding the fact he was an abortionist. So your comparison doesn't work.

None of this affects my origonal point, it is un-Christian to reject someone because of their actions, especially if we find those actions repulsive.

How is that a strawman? You made the point that since he was an usher at his Lutheran church, he was no monster. I responded that the BTK killer was an Elder at his (as it turns out, a Deacon to boot), and you call "strawman"?

Reject a person? Yes, un-Christian. God reserves judgment of people for Himself. Reject their actions? Not only is it permissable, it is required. It is an act of divine charity to speak truth to sin in your brother. Pretending that performing elective 3rd trimester abortions is no different than removing melanomas is gauche and un-Christian. Love of your fellow man does not mean you accept all of their sins so that you don't hurt their feelings.
