Cannot help thinking that the fallout from the pedophilia scandal that we as Roman Catholics are still trying to get over pales by comparison to the one for which we would only have ourselves to blame if we, as Church, did not promote St. Maurice to the nation.  The number of suicides by victims of predatory priests is, thank God, infinitesimally small when measured against the more than five thousand young black males annually claimed by "urban" violence.

Because of Protestant denominations' unfamiliarity and discomfort with our own hagiographical traditions and sensibilities, I've long believed that the reintroduction and popularizing of this black saint to be a uniquely Roman Catholic obligation and one that grows ever more desperate and increasingly urgent.
