Long Answer

1. Students can recall Boyle’s stance on compassion in Chapter 3: that true compassion consists not only in helping those in need but in seeing them as equals. They should highlight the many times Boyle confirms the humanity of former gang members such as Looney and the homeless helped by his Dolores Mission Church, and how he encourages others to do the same.
