A tradition of linking historical progress to spiritual growth might not be fashionable, but O'Connor deeply understood its merit
“Do you know that the Serbian leader’s parents killed themselves when he was only a nipper. And he is ‘acting out’ the rage and grief he has never dealt with,” O’Connor wrote, in reference to Slobodan Milošević who in 1999 became the first sitting head of state to be charged with war crimes.and in his 30s when his mother died but O’Connor was accurate in identifying suicide as the cause in both instances.
O’Connor’s view of history has support from philosophers down the ages from Aristotle – who believed the future of the state depended on the character of its leaders – to Mohandas Gandhi who argued that social change was best achieved by modelling virtuous behaviour.
