    I don't get it. Humans are crazy. You follow man made laws instead of God's, deny yourself marriage nd sex. A situation which leads to sinful acts, depression nd in this case suicide. Very crazy.

    You should think of the family of that priest first before saying such stupid words. Only fools like you will think that unmarried and no sex makes people commit suicide.

    He surely did that but perhaps regretted. He should have repented and confessed his sins for forgiveness.

    Why was Emmanuel his gay partner or what? That is so sad. Even if he had an encounter with Emmanuel rated to homosexuality that does not warrant committing this kind of atrocious death. Maybe he has some mental related sickn ...

    Copper, you are the bigger fool. f you know what the man committed the murder for, tell us or go tell the police. Until then everyone has the right to speculate on anything.
