That is the Christian/Catholic way.

Quite a contrast, n'est pas GALA?
On the otherhand, being a blood thirsty Druidic Hun myself, I would have laid a whopper of a curse on them. AND stuck around as a particularly bothersome spectre to make sure it all worked out MY way.

Forgive, yes, forget, no. Forgiveness usually only delays retribution with these people, because they contuinue to push until they can no longer be forgiven by anyone who is not an evolutionary dead end (i.e. someone not willing to fight for their own life). And payback, she's a bitch.
Remember, Peter had that sword out in the garden, and cut off the soldier's ear. Christ didn't say "Quit carrying the sword, dude.", he said "Now isn't the time". Soon enough, now will be the time. I just hope it's in my time, and not my childrens'.
