Allow me to take a cue from Pope Benedict XVI on lecturing on the difference between true religion and a political ideology with a few religious trappings.
The subject of the class today: what a martyr is, and what a martyr isn’t.
This is a martyr:
Sister Leonella Sgorbati, R.I.P.
This is not a martyr:
Palestinian female suicide bomber
The difference isn’t the full covering on the face. The difference is that the martyr had lived a life of charity (the nun worked in a hospital in Somalia), ended one moment by the wicked, while the suicide bomber’s faux-martyrdom is summed up in one act of killing oneself along with others, almost invariably total innocents.
Class dismissed.
