This week, a former student of a Catholic school returned to that school, shooting through the stained-glass windows into an all-school Mass, killing two students and, injuring more before dying by suicide in the back of the church. Despite the principal’s insistence that the school will persevere, past school massacres indicate it will not look the same: Sandy Hook Elementary and Robb Elementary in Uvalde have both been demolished and their students moved to new schools. Anticipating this, the mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, said after the shooting: “Don’t just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. After the Uvalde shooting left 19 students and two adults dead, Pope Francis sent a telegram of condolence to the local bishop, very similar to the one Pope Leo sent Archbishop Hebda and those that Francis sent following other mass shootings. None of this ends unless we do something to stop it.”It is unlikely Pope Leo would specify what that “something” should look like in terms of specific policy proposals.
