Did you hear about the Catholic priest in Mexico who killed his son because he didn’t want to lose his "job"?

A priest in Mexico City, Dagoberto Valle Arriaga, had a son with a woman named Maria Felix Hernandez Espinoza. He confessed to the killing just recently. He actually killed the son two years ago. He kidnapped the son when the son was 8 years old. He murdered his son because he feared that church officials would discover his son’s existence and remove him from the priesthood.
He figured the church officials would think he was not "moral" enough to be a priest. So I guess it was more "moral" to kill his son in order to protect his own reputation. Now that’s what I call a "good" Catholic.
55 years in prison.

Unfortunately this doesn’t surprise me in the least. Did he burn him at the stake?

    I don’t know where you found this but the guy was stupid and doesn’t represent Catholicism as a whole. We all have our nut jobs. And I don’t think this is true because the media hates Catholics so anything negative about Catholics ends up on prime time news.

    boy, if only the Enquirer could print such newsworthy stories

    I look now at Bible and Enquirer as similar

    they put shocking things to get your attention, when in reality it’s so ludicrous is appalling

    Father almost kills son, saved by timely Ram in bush

    God commands his people to eat human poo, then feels sorry and changes mind to cow poo!

    Fish swallows man for 3 days!

    Oh no… another one bites the dust.

    Obviously, the priest has to be incarcerated if found guilty!

    Peace be with you.

    Hey, to you and to others who lump all Catholics with this clod – this is not a fair representation of Catholicism, not in the least. This isn’t even a poor example, it’s way way worse!

    Come on, if one person does something wrong, you can’t blame everyone in his/her racial group, right? Same goes with religion. Don’t be so narrow-minded as to actually BELIEVE that all Catholics are as amoral as this phukr.

    Now that he’s confessed, what has happened to him?

    Obviously the priest had issues. There are good Catholics and people from other religions that are good. Just as there are sick and mental people in every walk of life.
