Your asterisk didn't help, BTW. It's Catholicism, not Islam.
From the article: “[W]e must now give strong Christian witness within our community and parish,” Fr. Peckman exhorted his parishioners on his Facebook wall the afternoon of the day the vandalism was discovered. “We must pray for those who perpetrated this attack. We cannot give into the anger or fear such as an attack can muster. We cannot respond to sin with sin. We will rise above this and show not only the larger community but the attacker themselves that the fullness of God’s mercy can be found at St. Clement.”
Later that same day, he added: “When attacked, we do not allow our attackers to change us for the worse. Rather we change for the better and stronger. Make no mistake, I fully intend on making our response to the attack on our parish church a profound moment of evangelization and witness to the power of God’s mercy.”
The same day, Fr. Peckman praised his parishioners on his blog regarding how they have responded with mercy and love for the vandal. “My parishioners have responded beyond any hopes that I would have expected. Not one asked what we were going to do to the woman who visited this tragedy upon us. Not one. Instead I had multiple request as to how we might help her.
“This is the way of Christ. No vengeance. No fear. No overreaction. Just mercy and forgiveness.”
I left off the sarcasm tag, doh !
