His laudable devotion to his second son, Sean, was partly in reaction to the guilt of his neglect of his first son, Julian. Though he was just starting to make amends with Julian, his murder took place before the reparations were that far along. Julian to this day bears the scars of the shortfall between intention and action that affects many parents. But for the son of a suddenly canonized dead father, there...
