By Randall Smith, The Catholic Thing - I hope instead I would have read that passage, Mark 9:42, where Jesus says, “Whoever offends one of these little ones…it is better for him that a millstone were hung about his neck, and he were cast into the sea,” and said to myself, “If the Bible says don’t kill but protect the ‘little ones,’ then I had better ‘gird my loins,’ stop thinking like man does rather than as God does and bid Satan to get behind me.” Then at least I could say: “I didn’t vote for those murderous bastards.”
