A murder and terrorist was "a charismatic leader?!" (Hitler and Stalin were "charismatic", too!) "

So, you recognize that the phrase "charismatic leader" need not be praise, and yet you are still angry about its use? Why is that? It's like going to someone's funeral and saying he was nice to his mother. That's caled "damning with faint praise."

Rest for his "eternal soul?!?!" I don't think that Hell is a place of eternal rest. Maybe we can't know for sure who will finally end up in Heaven or Hell, that is God's ultimate judgement. But by the fruits of Arafat....I doubt that he is now, or ever will, enjoy the bliss of Heaven.

Don't let vengeance cloud your heart. We may think it highly unlikely that such a man be saved from damnation, but it is entirely Christian to pray for such a thing.

Are you without sin?

SD,
Kudos to your Franciscan educators. You've made them proud today.

Oh my Jesus,
forgive us our sins
save us from the fires of hell
and lead all souls to heaven
especially those in most need of Thy mercy.
