Forgiveness

Eric Zorn of the Chicago Tribune has a post on his blog asking if we are as big as the Pope. He's talking about the Pope's ability to forgive his would-be assassin. Zorn says:

Very few people are capable of this kind of forgiveness – I doubt I am, and hope fervently that I'm never put to such a test -- but it has to make you stop to wonder about any grudge you may be holding onto.

Is the offense worse than two murderous pot-shots?

A very good question, I think.
