In reply to the discussion: Priest tells anti-Trump protesters to commit suicide [View all]Idoru
(167 posts)30. Wow
And here I thought I was incapable of being shocked. Well, maybe that is too strong a word, especially given the track record here. But he must think himself untouchable or be a genuine pyscho to think he would get away with something like this. Does he not know his own Pope? Does he not realize that a priest encouraging suicide based on pure hatred would make news?!
