I think this story gives strong support for the death penalty. Would he have repented if he was going to be in prison for life, or was his repenting the result of facing death and being forced to contemplate the Four Last Things?

It gives even stronger support for rigorous faith formation in the young. McVeigh was baptized Catholic. Where did we Catholics go wrong, that one of our own should stray so far?
