While I do laugh at this and it makes me smile a little due to my immense dislike of religion in general... the guy was a redemptorist, a congregation with a vow of poverty and the aim of helping the poor. You can hate them for their missionary work and generally the catholic church is a very valid receiver of criticism and hatred. But these guys in particular hold social justice in high regard.

I'm not saying he's a good guy, I'm saying I'd have liked it more if it happened to someone worse.

This man, Father Molinari, died violently in front of a crowd of loved ones.

It's bad taste to use a moment where a priest is killed as meme material

I was raised Catholic and do not have the slightest pity for those involved in that hateful, destructive group. I did not realize that this was real, though. It almost makes me want to believe in God, again. Almost.

I could probably make my statement more generic. It is not it being a priest that crosses the line, but taking a still just before a person is killed, religion or not, as meme material.

Yes, but also this was an incredibly ironic circumstance, so while I understand and agree I think it was inevitable.

I've always had an icky feeling about the user who posted this. now I have enough proof to block them.

don't misunderstand though. I'm not upset about mocking the religious aspect. it's more the complete disregard of human life and turning it into a mockery within days of it ending. especially for a person who clearly didn't deserve it.
