...peace that does not embody, at least roughly, the papal position on fundamental social issues will bring not social peace but a sword. For when traditional justice fails, retributive justice supervenes. Failure to grasp this fact means failure to understand the words that Dante read above the gates of Hell...
When the captain hears that a plot to kill Churchill is being engineered by none other than the Nazi who caused his crash, he jumps a German plane, quite naturally shoots the Nazi down.

Late workers are given a hell-raising reception, have to run the gantlet of their fellow workers' resounding wolf call. Result: workers are almost always on time, almost never absentees...
