On the Murders at Virginia Tech

This is from a Catholic blogsite that I hesitate to link to on this site. Some of the posts are a little...what's the word?...edgy. But I thought this comment was important:

"Please don't indulge in godless modern paganism and set up homely, self-indulgent makeshift memorials with cheap flowers and teddy bears. Don't hold hands and sing bad pop songs.

Go to church. That's what it's for. For centuries, people smarter than you and with more finely honed aesthetics worked on rituals that actually do what they're supposed to do. "
