A priest accused of sexual abuse was found shot dead, in what appears to not be a suicide. Fox News reports:
A defrocked Roman Catholic priest who was among nearly 200 New Jersey priests facing accusations of sexual abuse was shot and killed in a Las Vegas suburb, officials said Tuesday.
John Capparelli, 70, was found dead Saturday inside the kitchen of his Henderson home with a gunshot wound to his neck, said Nicole Charlton, the Clark County Coroner’s Office medical examiner. Capparelli had moved into the $319,000 home in August 2016, according to property records.
Police believe Capparelli died amid “suspicious circumstances,” but authorities haven’t divulged details as to whether there’s a suspect in his death or if the killing had anything to do with the abuse allegations.
“Preliminary investigation indicates the victim died of suspicious circumstances, and the incident is being investigated as a homicide,” police said in a statement, according to NJ.com. “A suspect has not been identified at this time and police are following up on developed leads.”
When justice is not served through the courts, people tend to take it in their hands.
GOD does’t like ugly. KARMA IS A BITCH
This turd was found dead in his $319,000 home, I didn’t know being a priest paid so well.
That was my thought too. Was he one of those who embezzles from his Church while The Bishop looked the other way?
The catholics are violating biblical principles. There is nothing in the bible that says a priest can not marry. A manufactured and totally erroneous doctrine. That is what happens when you violate God’s word.
I did a wee bit of Irish research in an Irish pub over a pint of Murphy about this matter and uncovered some interesting results.
Somewhere in Leviticus Levite priests were required to refrain from sexual intercourse for 24 hours before offering a holocaust or they would be ritually unclean. The Gospel account of the Last Supper proclaimed that the bread and wine was transfigured into the body and blood of Jesus which was consumed during the communion rite (a holocaust?). Some Protestant clerics observed that Jesus survived the Passover, only to suffer a horrible death shortly thereafter. Since Catholic priests are required to say daily Mass, they would have to be celibate to avoid becoming ritually unclean according to some. A more believable observation about the practice is found in Catholic Church Law (called Cannon Law). The priest has up to three jobs: Pastor (CEO) of a non-profit corporation, counselor and priest. Family would be neglected. Children may rebel or become the victim of people opposed to the behavior of the priest. There is a named syndrome in the clinical psychology handbook called the “Minister’s Son syndrome.”
Ergo, the foundation of this practice is not biblical, but Cannon Law.
1Ti 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
It was probably a mistake from a drive by targeting Harry Reid!
At least will never do it again. It is a Catholic thing!!
Justice was not served. This has been going on for over 50 years. Why? Because the Catholic Church has political power, money, influence. Justice would be the closing of many dens of inequity called churches.
Seek out evil. Do not tolerate it, do not make excuses for it. Find it and destroy it wherever it is or it will corrupt everything on this earth.
Why are politicians and Catholic priests and bishops, etc. get away with such heinous crimes? Why are they exempt? A Catholic official gets caught and he just gets sent to another diocese. A politician commits crime that abuses the rights of the American people and for the most part doesn’t even have to say, I’m sorry. They are in for a big surprise when their payday comes. They will learn too late that they didn’t get away with it after all. Especially the priests. Do you think God doesn’t see what you do? If He tells you in His word that it’s wrong, what makes you think it’s going unpunished?
Psychologists classify mental disorders into two categories: Neurosis and psychosis. A neurosis is an untreatable disorder. These folks are just wired that way. A psychosis is usually triggered by trauma, addiction or some other outside influence. A psychosis is treatable. Church clerics believed that these disordered clerics were sinners and worthy of forgiveness. They forgot about the safety of their victims. Now they are paying a terrible price for their error of judgment. The Catholic Church is not the only religious institution with this problem.
Perverts become/infiltrate the Priesthood, Priests are not Perverts, originally. Don’t incriminate the good Priests for the sins of others just like one innocent person should not be put to death for the sins of a lone Murderer. Condemn the Murder of over 60,000,000 (since 1972, and counting) Babies by Abortion and blame one person or just look the other way, like now?
One less evil priest on this earth. I hope he’s begging for a cold glass of water.
JUSTICE IS SERVED!! PRAISE THE LORD!!
Stake his a__ down on a firearm bed
It would be nice if this same type of “justice” was also being served to the ugly and still visible politicians who have done most everything evil in their careers yet sit in mansions unafraid . . . .
Indeed.
Catholics have become the religion of Sin!
Spare me. If you are still that naive or deluded to think that this sort of thing is limited to one religion you are misinformed or have a thing against the Catholic Church or Catholics. No surprise, for decades hedonistic Hollywood has never passed up an opportunity to discredit Catholicism and they are the main opinion-formers in our pop culture. Lesson…any profession that involves children being entrusted to them attracts perverts like ants to sugar. That includes the K-12 teaching profession, childcare facilities, summer camps, youth sports, etc. I suggest that you try using your mind to think on your own rather than jumping on some populist bandwagon looking for pats on the back.
Thank you for speaking truth AJC!!
Finally somebody actually demanded justice. Been wondering when people may decide they have had enough and actually fight back or stand up ? Obviously somebody had enough !
Time to sit and chat with Satan for eternity, padre. Cioau!
Enough with the free grant money bullshit
Justice served. Think I would have shot him in the cajones first
