Once again there was a horrendous attack on a Christian school, this time a Roman Catholic school in Minneapolis, during a Mass to celebrate a return to school. As in some other mass murders there was a clear religious motivation. It seems the shooter was deeply jealous of the peace with God experienced at the school. There are many steps that can be taken to reduce the frequency of such attacks. Considering the ultimate sources of this violence empower those steps.
