Why is Friar Laurence to blame for the deaths in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, and what quotes prove it?

In the
final scene of the play, Prince Escalus
actually absolvesof all
guilt, saying, "We still
have known thee for a holy man" (V.iii.281).
Prince Escalus even lays all

opinion is
the better opinion. It is ultimately the hatred Lords Capulet
and
Montague share that instigates the fighting and
causes all of the
deaths in the play.

his decisions are not the
