Father Damien of Molokai

Nothing personal intended against this man, but it certainly is interesting that at this time, a name so closely associated with "Omen" would become prominent on Capitol Hill. Or that Molokai is similar to "Molech". Intersting times, indeed.

**In fact, it is clear that what motivated Damien to do what no one else was willing to do was his desire to emulate Christ. **

If only more on Capitol Hill would emulate Christ and follow in the footsteps of St. Damien de Vuester. (Not necessarily to serve lepers, but to really care about people.)
