MOURNING


The HUDDLER will be in MOURNING this weekend.... Gun violence has taken the life of a young Philiadelphia Police Officer. When the Huddler "huddles "with counterparts from the eastern part of the state, Philadelphia in paticular, there is a much more urgent struggle with gun violence. It is clear that Philadelphia has a bigger gun violence problem than Pittsburgh.

The Huddler will say a special rosary for this young officer, his widowed wife, (who is two months pregnant) family, and the men and women of the Philadelphia Police Department as well as all law enforcement officers across our nation who place their lives on the line every day for us.

This is a tragic, needless death. This is why the death penalty was created. We should still allow public hangings in cases such as this.
