Good Luck

Those materialistic and backsliding persons who decry the Christian faith for its intellectual vacuity and moral sloth may soon receive an object lesson which they will not quickly forget. A Colombian bishop plans to rid his city of violence and drug trafficking, and doubtless of additional inhumanities such as abortion, by the eminently Christ-like expedient of getting into a military helicopter and sprinkling the place with water. It remains as yet uncertain how much strife will be quieted when subject to aerial hydration; fortunately, the water will be special magic water, having been mumbled over by a man in a frock. The seaport of Buenaventura is notorious for its gang violence, and peace-making efforts by the secular arm have apparently met with limited success and very few newspaper headlines for Monsignor Rubén Dario Jaramillo Montoya.
