A good point but it was sort of dulled by turning it into another political/geopolitical mini-rant.

Better for a priest to help people "be small" and look for IMMEDIATE, CONCRETE, here and now ways of meeting Jesus.

The non-violence we should seem in our interior self.
The criticisms that flow into our mind when we run across a happily Mass going Catholic who doesn't want to complain about the Bishops all the time. 
The snide remarks we make to ourselves when we see a mother and father with 8 children.
The sadness we feel when we reject that others have learned to love the Cross.

These are forms of violence...in fact all overt forms of violence begin in little ways.   Little "crucifixions" we choose to side step.
