One of the things that I love about the Catholic Church

I love the universality of the Catholic church. The name, catholic, means universal. So, when a Korean student does something at Viginia Tech, the Korean bishops offer apologies. Here's the story.

Cardinal Cheong said, "As a South Korean, I can't help feeling apologetic about how a Korean man caused such a shocking incident." I think this shows the positive influence the Catholic Church can have throughout the world in building bridges.

I personally would prefer an apology from the movie industry, from the arms industry, etc.
