I'm coming late to this thread, but as a Christian, I think a Catholic nun's violent murder (however it occurred and whoever did it) is a sin that God Himself will avenge one way or another, because it is a strike at God Himself. I think anybody who murders the religious, be it a priest, nun, rabbi, Buddhist monk, imam, or lay missionary or otherwise devout person, where the person was never violent or advocated violence and was murdered clearly because of the person's religion, is in an even more unenviable position in relation to divine judgement than other murderers.

"I think anybody who murders the religious, be it a priest, nun, rabbi, Buddhist monk, imam, or lay missionary or otherwise devout person, where the person was never violent or advocated violence ... " I agree with you. I don't care what faith they are following, if they are people who have truly consecrated their lives to God, it is a particularly severe outrage.
