Great quote—and I had not heard it before.
When unjust tragedy strikes families the clergy is often there to try to explain—and they use some of the explanations given in this thread.
They lose many parishioners as a result.
I have my own views on the best answer—but that would anger many folks here since it is nowhere to be found in the Bible—so I am not going to go there.
I’m curious, and I doubt that I would be one of those you presume to be angered.
