I agree with Monsignor Lorenzo Albacete because he has a very realistic perspective on the modern definition of evil. His view is much broader than many other authors because he sees evil from the persepective of a man who works in the church and a person who is much like the rest of America or even the world when he is not completely engrossed in religion. “To me, to distract one from this, to look for explanations, is obscene. It’s an offense against the reality of what happened-and offense against our humanity–to look for political explanations, economic explanations, diplomatic explanations…The people who did this, who planned it, who brought it about, I don’t know what their theology or their ideology is. I take them at their word; they died with the name of God on their lips. People say they were sincere; well, yes, they were… This is an act for them that was a seincere act, the worship of their God. I take them at their word. Does that make them any less evil?”.
