Reply To: Being sensitive towards tragedy

I don’t understand how you do not see in the Chasam Sofer’s words exactly what I wrote.
He said:
כשרוב עונות גורם חלילה הקב”ה נוטל הרב שבהם ר”ל לכפר על הכלל וכעין כפרת פרה אדומה
Which means: When the many sins cause [a tragedy] chalilah, Hashem takes the greatest one amongst them Rl, to forgive the community, just as the Parah Adumah does.
