The anti-clerical Left will fine on this.
Could he be someone mentally ill and out of touch with reality? Have seen this in my own parish.
Sick Muslims
Perhaps the perpetrator had been sexually abused and could no longer cope.
And when IT happens in NZ, it is not an individual act committed by one individual?
