Monsignor Richard Albert

The spiritually-edifying photo above, of Monsignor Richard Albert, a New York City native "who has mediated between Jamaica's police and gangs for more than 25 years in Spanish Town, Jamaica," was taken from a story on "some of the most popular U.S. imports" to the island nation — Guns from America fuel Jamaica's gang wars.

As we begin the Year of the Priest, the monsignor could well serve as an exemplary. His sense of style could win as many converts as his good works! And reading of his mediation between those "scaring the nation with their guns and ammunition," I'm sure I'm not the only one to whom this classic and its almost equally classic cover came immediatley to mind — Junior Murvin - Police & Thieves / The Clash - Police & Thieves.
