If you like to attack people who pray after a tragedy

You’re in good company.  After the terror attack in France, Pope Francis did the sensible, Christian thing when he prayed that God convert the hearts of the violent blinded by hate. Apparently – and this might come as a shock – not everyone saw value in the Pope’s prayer.

I’m sure Christians of all stripes can agree with the prayer for the conversion of hearts to Christ.  That is the ultimate answer.  Not politics.  Not social agendas.  Not social theories.  Christ.  And yet, how quick were some to condemn, criticize, and even accuse the motives of those who fellow believers who prayed for victims of gun violence in recent months merely because of disagreements over policy.

A reminder.  He who lives by the Social Media sword will inevitably die by the Social Media sword.
