Death is better solution. And if I did what these animals did, I’d deserve death too. Mercy was for the kids.
We who are entangled in sin's webs, though, we need not death before repentance. We need scissors to cut the sticky webs, we need the long humility of begging passers-by to pray for us.
That goes, too, for those Sons of Belial and Daughters of Moloch who bring their infernal sacraments, sodomy and child-murder, right into the Church. May God cast them down from their seats of power. May God crush their teeth and stop up their mouths. But then let them feel their hearts break within them, and let them not die until they repent.
