GOD HAS A S P E C I A L P L A C E, IN H E L L
F O R T H E P I G I N J A I L
🥵😭How sad.
How do they no it was him, child victims lude photos found in a fire proof safe give up the idendity?
I learn more from the comments than from NBC’s reporting.
LOL, true!
That’s pretty typical
He was Exorcised 😂
omg this hit me so hard! 😧😥💔
Me too. Like my little Caesars earlier!
I’m not even Catholic, I’m a Buddhist, but this breaks my heart. My condolences to all those parishioners in their grief.
@man man
And you fake too
why is what beliefs you have relevant in the slightest??
@Bluecollarguy it’s very relevant. As a man of faith myself I get my morals from my beliefs. I know you don’t understand but it’s a very personal thing
@man man theres something wrong with you if you need a 2000 year old book to tell you how not to be a bad person! i was raised catholic, now i’m an atheist because i’m not stupid! religion is for weak people that can’t handle the fact that when you are dead, you are dead! the end! compost like every other living being!
@Bluecollarguy no! You have no morals. If you can’t get your morals from God, who do you get them from?
666👿
They got fat boys tax returns in hand 😂
Probably touched someone’s son…..
He DEAD 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I totally disagree with Roman Catholic teachings but I love Catholic people because they are my fellow human beings . People need to stop being so hateful with their comments about these deceased people.
Let me guess a child molester
The father myer thing ain’t gunna work
Satanic worshiper?
Cleansed by holy fire 🔥
eek!
Another pedo priest bites the dust.
all im saying is it wouldnt surprise me if they were like Epstein and Maxwell
Was he a pedophile?
Please don’t tell me it was Christian Nationals who did this .
No.
Catholicism is not Christian.
God’s will is done.
Babylon the great 😃👍
Who knew, a nation built on the genocide of one people and the brutal enslavement of another would be so evil?
If you follow history, it’s easy to see how we got we got here. We were always bloodthirsty.
It was a hit list
You couldn’t pay me to live in the South !
Lol it’s really not bad. Just don’t didly kids and you’ll be fine.
I honestly hate it in FL. I’m not from the south I have lived in many places but this place is really really really off
I always hear about God’s favor and how God has the power to “change things” just not preventing you from being kidnapped and burned, dying in the most painful way possible. But, “God just wanted his angels home” by FIRE! I actually believe there is a creator but I don’t believe in any magical spirits. I believe no one Knows and that’s the way it should be which means organized religion is total BS!
@Yo Mama
Some see, some are blind
Be well.
@Viviana white
👽 <----- pinnacle
@Religious Bigfoot
😉
@Religious Bigfoot I have never seen a alien 👽
Their regular thought and prayers bs still works on their goons, so I don’t think they will change that for now.
I’m not Catholic, but sorry to hear. I hope their religion gave them some peace during their deaths.
Wow how did this happen? So many horrible crimes lately.
Probably another child molesting priest.
Yup read Romans chapter 1
😭😭
* burned to recognition
One more, sick person, committing a vicious 🎬act.S0 😥sad.
HAIL JUDAS HAIL SATAN
His name is Lucifer Morningstar. Satan is 👎
We don’t know why he did this. Just saying, alot of priests lead double lives. It’s a shame that it has come to this if the case is such.
Business as usual.
Awe YouTube come on. You deleted my comment. We all know catholic priest are groomers.
The world is gone mad!!! My condolences 💐
Hahahahaha!! 😁🤭
Perilous times are here!!
The world has always been mad and perilous. It could and has been worse.
This probably wasn’t revenge. Someone seeking revenge would not steal a victim’s car and use it for a hit and run on a random person. This is just the work of a maniac.
You don’t know anything… I would’ve done this for revenge. It’s complicated
@man man ??? Tf
Killing someone could easily put someone into a state of mania. I don’t think it should be automatically ruled out.
@Alisa Laska literly ashol
Priests are well known for kid-diddling…i’m not ruling anything out yet.
🟥 Freaky. And Horrifically Found 🟥
This is awful. I grew up in the Catholic Church. This is horrific 💔🙏
No reason for such hatred!
I guess you’ve never been sexually abused.
that we know of…
This is the first I have heard of this, and I feel like this report is giving only 1/4 of the story. This was a terrible job of setting the stage and giving information about what was going on. Very sporadic storyline. Someone needs to do a better job of reporting.
They can only report what they’ve been told. Any thing else is speculation, which can get them in trouble
@LucyCan wayyyyyy more is known than what they reported. The had a whole press conference before this came out.
@Robert4049 well I only had this video to go on. I thought they gave what they got
I’m Deeply Sorry and Send My Sincerest Condolences
So is the implication that there was some sort of foul play?
The devil is busy..
He’s having a ball
Heartbreaking. When will we stop our decline.
When we’re ALL dead, I suppose.
Who knew, a nation built on the genocide of one people and the brutal enslavement of another would be so evil?
The foundation is rotten. We’re paying for the sins of our forefathers.
Now cue the anger, because the truth hurts, doesn’t it. Oh well
I’m willing to bet my hard earned money that the suspect was touched inappropriately while he was a child.
What a disgusting thing to comment.
This is messed up for any Christian in case you read it it is Satan trying to make us weaker keep faithful
No sadness here.
1492..reap it.
Yeah that’s burnt.
Extra crispy.
It’s hard to have an opinion without knowing the facts. But…the Catholic Church is a Satan worshiping pedophile cult so…🤷♂️
I’ll bet one of his victims offed him. Oh, WELL!
Pedophile 🤔🤔🤔🤔probably
December is Satan’s favorite month to collect dead souls
🤷♂️Biden’s America 🔪🔫🔨💃
where was god when this happened?
Helping the victim get his revenge.
Everyone has secrets
(Yawn) 😴 What happened? Does ANYONE care? NO? Me neither.
Welcome to loseranna. The only thing we have going for us is our Governor Edwards that fought for us through the pandemic and some small town mayors. The rest of them as in Senator’s are only out for themselves. They couldn’t give a crap less about anything but continuing to pad their pockets. They love the racial division, works for them and do absolutely nothing for this state. I’ve lived in a number of places in the United States, in the military and beyond. I’ve never seen the racial divide as stark on both sides as I’ve seen here. The abject poverty, drug problems and we’re not talking weed, which is still illegal here, Legalize Nationwide! is horrible. In many places the drinking water is contaminated and they don’t tell anyone for months, yet, get away with it. The most toxic state in the United States. And yet, Mr. I’m a good ole boy, Kennedy, not relation to President, stays in power. Well, no primaries here either. How convenient for him.
If it wasn’t for my grandchildren, I wouldn’t live here.
With that last thought in mind. I have found, in my life, in my walk as a Christian, that I have found myself in situations, places and experiencing things that never asked for. But I believe, with all my heart, that what ever battle the Lord sends me to, through and thus far survived, is for a reason. Warrior on brothers and sisters! The Father, Son and Holy Spirit hasn’t brought us this far in order to let us drown. This world is really not our home. We’re just passing through.
Priests don’t retire, it’s not a business it’s a calling, he was hiding. Something not right here
They do retire. Call it medical retirement because, for some, age & infirmities limit their effectiveness to tend to their duties. There are “retirement” centers for priests so that they have some level of care & supervision if needed.
maybe the 2 burned a couple of bodies and ran away because they were lovers.
Who else went straight to child molestation? Just me?
….
I wonder what they did?
You left out a WHOLE LOT of details. Was it a house fire? Did they spontaneously combust? Was it Arsen?
Was it… M U R D E R ? 👿
It is a sign when a priest burst into flames in his own church, but they won’t give any details.
Probably pedophiles
That looks personal he did something he had no business doing
God gotta messed up sense of humor
He should have accepted Trump as his lord and savior.
I hate all religions equally period but my hate doesn’t mean I would go out and murder people for believing different if they want to believe in a magic sky daddy etc.. that’s their business can’t help but to wonder if this has something to do with the pedophile priests who hurt children but then people are just crazy and getting crazier it’s just sad to see humans acting inhumane towards one another 😵🤯😲
How horrible, that demon probably murdered those two wonderful people for the change in their pockets. Death penalty.
Bless
You maybe want to tell us more about how they came to be burned? House fire? Arson? Self immolation?
Horrible reporting.
“Being burnt beyond recognition makes it harder to identify the bodies”
Are you f’ing kidding me with that sentence? Are you as dumb as you think your viewers are?
I guess he burned in hellfire
No we are not 😮
🤔…Sooo if a body is burned beyond recognition scientist can use DNA to determine if the person is male or female?… R.I.P 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
If Thise don’t show we in the end time I don’t know what else buning priest God may you come soon
Not much information here…no cause of death etc… wrong to speculate too much, spontaneous combustion?
He may have been a pedo.
They need to look into whether or not there was a history of accusations..
Smh…how awful
Bahahaha
He molested the wrong kid. Dad had his revenge sounds like to me
then how did you identify him?
priests touch kids and he probably got what was coming to him
Of snap 😱🤦🏽♀️ This is pure evil! So sad. RIP 🙏🏽🌹
Karma
I am the LORD Jesus Christ. I have returned in My second coming. No good will come from denying Me in My return while practicing religions based on Me whether Christianity or Islam or otherwise. Evil has grown too great in the World now.
He probably molested someone 😜🤣
He probably touched a little boy decades age, and that boy turned into a man, and came to exact his revenge.
Biden’s open border will bring violence like we’ve never seen before.
Story doesn’t tell you what happened so it’s lousy journalism. Was it a house fire, an accident, what?
When someone is burning any living thing it’s a sign of a sick person, and vigilante justice is not the way to deal with a religious leader, especially before a trial. Please people if your kids are burning things, get professional help for them or many others will suffer.
This was a ritual blood sacrifice. Dig deeper.
Probably by a molestation victim.
YALL WEAK FOOLISH SLAVES GOIN CRAZY
Someone had personally experience and knew he was a pedophile and has been finally stopped.
