...killed 71-year-old Al Gratia, who ignored his daughter's pleas and rose to confront the killer. As screams pierced the air, the gunman moved toward the crowded serving line and continued firing.

This "Gospel-oriented" orthodoxy, as the authors call it, apparently produces greater compassion toward...
