Los Angeles – I would have used one our really lame headlines like “THE DEL TACO MASSACRE!” like we usually do with stories like this, but CBS news beat me to it. The massacre they are referring to happened on Saturday afternoon when Jimmy Schlager walked inside a California Del Taco and opened fire on his 29-year-old stepdaughter and her family. Schlager murdered her husband, Alex Trujillo, and her 6-year-old son Adrian. He shot her 10 times and her other 5-year-old son twice but miraculously, they are both currently alive. They have undergone surgery at the hospital where their conditions have improved.

At the closing Mass of the Year for Priests, referring to the fact that, in this very year of joy for the sacrament of the priesthood, the sins of priests had come to light, particularly the abuse of the little ones, Pope Benedict XVI made a very significant declaration.

It reflects his determination to address everything related to child abuse by priests with all the courage that it requires.

The Holy Father said: “We insistently beg forgiveness from God and from the persons involved, while promising to do everything possible to ensure that such abuse will never occur again; and that in admitting men to priestly ministry and in their formation we will do everything we can to weigh the authenticity of their vocation and make every effort to accompany priests along their journey.”
