Notre Dame’s rector says exactly the right thing in the wake of Dominique Venner, a far-right activist protesting France’s legalization of same-sex marriage, having stuck a gun down his throat and fired in front of schoolchildren visiting the cathedral. It takes a special sort of madman to make a bloody spectacle of himself in a church full of children.

Was he protesting same-sex marriage, or the “islamization” of France?

Sounds like he’d been pretty pissed off in general since about 1962.
