BRIEF: LEWISTON, MAINE (OSV NEWS) “Evil is part of the world in which we live,” said Bishop Robert P. Deeley of Portland, Maine during a Mass Oct. 27 in Lewiston, Maine. “It’s how we deal with it which is important.” Bishop Deeley made his comments during his homily while he celebrated evening Mass in the adoration chapel at Holy Cross Church in Lewiston two days after 18 people were shot and killed during a shooting spree in the city. It was the deadliest mass shooting since 21 people were killed at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, in May 2022. Authorities found the suspect, 40-year-old Robert Card, dead late Friday night from an apparent self-inflicted gun wound, according to Maine Gov. Janet Mills, who said she was “breathing a sigh of relief tonight knowing that … Card is no longer a threat to anyone.”
