Both John's father, Frank Lindh, a strict Irish Catholic, and his mother, Marilyn Walker, a Buddhist, were supportive of their son's new faith. Sorry, N.Y. Post...if this guy were such a "strict Irish Catholic," he:
- Probably wouldn't have married a Buddhist
- Certainly would not have been supportive of his son (for whom he bears the responsibility of education in the Faith) embracing a heresy
Basically, the kid is a nut. He should have been in a mental hospital, instead of running around Asia.

Even the relatively conservative NY Post is trying to tie in the "strict"-ness of the father's Catholicism for this kid's nuttiness.
IMO it's his mother's hippy-dippy New Age kumbaya beliefs that drove the kid into the arms of a fundamentalist cult.

Yes, he should have been in a mental hospital, but instead, his parents put him on a plane to another country, probably breathing a sigh of relief at the same time.
