Beauty and the Priest: Final Confession Before Murder - Pt. 1 - Crime Watch Daily

Sadly, this murder could have been prevented if only they would've done something the first time he assaulted a women. Apparently they didn't prosecute priest back then 😢 R.I.P

I'm catholic but I don't go to church I pray at home in the comfort of my safety. My grandmother that die few years ago always used to tell me u don't have to go to church for God to hear u , you can talk to him wherever u are and that's what I did. U can't trust people this days and that's what I will teach my daughter.

Sorry about your loss and may she rest in piece. Your grandmother is absolutely right, in the Bible it says the church is in the people! So the church is in you, wherever you are so is it! I don’t go to church anymore because of something that happened to me when I was younger but also because I believe most organized religion is all about money and “offerings”. So I practice my fellowship at home!

@@russellgay9442 My reply was towards Jag's denial that he wasn't a 'real priest'. The murderer was a Priest. However, he so happened to be a sick asshole as well. I am not the one making the excuses so I don't see how you asking me on 'who makes' my excuses makes no sense to me, unless I am missing something. The only reason for this denial is so that Jag can keep believing that all of the people of his religion are good people. He has every right to believe that, but denial like this is pretty unhealthy.

Kmah, dumb dumb. Christians don’t believe that any person is a good person. Jesus warned that there would be many persons who pretend to he followers of Jesus, who would do evil things, and warmed his followers, so they could be prepared. Again no person is good, only Jesus our God is good. Let me know where Jesus does evil deeds in the bible.

Why confess to another man ? He is as sinful as me, Priest or not. Confess to God of you choose to, or go about your choices excluding Priests.

[@laurenmay2098]

Keka Kn I see many people saying that, “confess your sins to one another” is biblical, you can choose not to, but it is biblical. And it does not even have to be a priest. You can choose not, but we do find comfort maybe with a friend, your parents, a sister.

I started going to church after about 20 years, but stopped again. There were many crazy people who would come in off the street and the place felt unsafe. One time this crazy walked all the way to the alter and put down a backpack and hurried out. Everyone pretended that it wasn't there. No security in these places and that's why they are the perfect place for a mass shooting. I pray at home. It's just too dangerous to go out and do anything anymore. Stay home with your handgun loaded.

[@nap3null]

The catholic church has "made up" the fact that you need to go to a priest to confess. 1 John 1:9 says: “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." James 5:16 says: "Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed."

She went to "confession." That wasn't necessary. Had she not gone, maybe that priest wouldn't have killed her.

[@macariusfreestyle8521]

Tell The Truth I don't see how this is relevant to this unfortunate case, but you just contradicted yourself by citing James 5:16. It says "confess your sins one to another" and also didn't Christ tell the Apostle before ascension "Who sins you forgive, they are forgiving"?

[@nap3null]

I said that had she NOT gone to confession, perhaps she would be alive today. No one knew the priest was a murderer & he had a previous assault. I'm fortunate enough to have mature people in the faith I can approach. You said, " ... and also didn't Christ tell the Apostle before ascension "Who sins you forgive, they are forgiving"? " WHERE in Scripture does it say that?

Sulle bugie di Amanda Knox '. Un primo punto importante è che Amanda Knox non ha semplicemente "mentito durante un interrogatorio". Ha effettivamente girato una storia falsamente incriminante di Patrick Lumumba, ma non l'ha fatto durante un interrogatorio: la sua falsa accusa era un comportamento prolungato e ripetuto. È andato avanti molto tempo dopo l'interrogatorio. In effetti, Knox ha continuato a girare storie false - non solo accusando Lumumba ma anche a minacciare Sollecito - che questo comportamento prolungato è un primo punto importante da tenere a mente, ma non ancora il punto principale. - A proposito, noto anche che i suoi ricordi scritti non sono il lavoro di una persona debole e ingenua al punto di aver perso il controllo mentale, non più in grado di inventare e organizzare una manipolazione tortuosa. Il suo memoriale è un testo sofisticato e altamente controllato, è il tentativo manifesto di una persona ancora in pieno controllo razionale; comunque, qualsiasi teoria di Amanda che sia debole e ingenua e psicologicamente forzata dovrebbe essere sostenuta con prove. Dovrebbe essere provato, non puoi solo postulare o indovinare che una persona mente bugie perché è psicologicamente debole, senza prove. Eppure, come ho detto, questo non è ancora il punto principale. Un punto un po 'più significativo è la posizione attuale della Knox nel processo. le sue affermazioni reali. Il fatto che la Knox, all'udienza preliminare e al processo, NON abbia affermato di aver mentito, sotto pressione. Non era affatto la sua posizione al processo. Al contrario, ha affermato di non aver mentito a tutti e ha dichiarato di soffrire di una falsa sindrome della memoria. La sua difesa ha chiamato uno psicologo di un'università di Roma per testimoniare per sostenere la sua richiesta. La tua potrebbe aver giocato la carta sulla debolezza psicologica e la coercizione se la Knox avesse portato al processo una storia di coercizione psicologica. Lei no. ha portato alla luce una storia di una falsa sindrome della memoria. Quindi, la mancanza di coerenza nelle sue spiegazioni sul suo comportamento è un punto più importante di quello che ha detto durante un interrogatorio. Questa non è, tuttavia, l'unica contraddizione della Knox a sua difesa. Ma un fatto ulteriore e più consistente è che Amanda Knox non mentì solo quando accusò falsamente Lumumba. Ha semplicemente raccontato un enorme carico di bugie, soprattutto prima dell'interrogatorio. Tutta la sua "storia" di aver fatto la doccia nel bagno insanguinato e di trasportare i mop attraverso la città è una massa di bugie. Non c'è alcun pezzo coerente con nessun altro o con qualsiasi pezzo di realtà. E poi ha anche mentito successivamente: dopo il processo, nelle sue dichiarazioni pubbliche e nel suo libro. È una bugiarda sistematica. Un altro elemento da notare è che non stiamo parlando di un solo bugiardo; stiamo parlando di due. Non solo Amanda Knox, ma anche Sollecito ha sempre mentito. Ed è ora e una verità giudiziaria stabilita che "tutte le sue versioni sono bugie". Sollecito ha raccontato bugie nelle sue versioni mutevoli durante gli interrogatori, ha detto bugie provate nel suo libro (un giudice ha costretto lui e Gumbel ad ammettere che il suo libro era fittizio) e oggi racconta bugie. Prima di ogni altra considerazione, chiunque si chiede perché due persone "innocenti" dovrebbero dire bugie tutto il tempo - non è esattamente quello che fanno le persone innocenti. Non entrerò in ulteriori dettagli su tutte le dimensioni e i passaggi di Knox che mentono sull'accusare Lumumba e sul resto (compreso il suo interrogatorio del 17 dicembre, ecc.) Perché sarebbe troppo lungo. About Rudy Guede: he did not act alone. Note: this is, by the way, a fact established definitively by the last verdict. But it is just a proven fact - it is evidence whoever wants to look into it - that this murder was phisically committed by more than one person. It is a fact that it would be impossible for a single perpetrator to commit this crime. Forget about Introna's theory, which is unrealistic and inconsistent with findings and was rightly dismissed by the judge. Meredith Kercher was killed by multiple perpetrators. While Knox is officially proven to have been certainly present at the murder. Knox, actually, did indeed take part physically to the killing action - she was not just an observer - but still, bear in mind that even a "passive" observer would bear responsability, because Meredith Kercher did not die on the spot. She died of blood loss after an agony of ten minutes or more. Not just the physical perpetrators, but even a hypothetical passive observer who happened not to call for help would be a person committing a serious life-threatening or deadly offense,

What a tragedy & such lessons in the comments. I shall never cease to be amazed at how Christians judge & tear each other down. Thankful that I come from a family with all stripes - Protestant, Catholic and even Atheists. I’m blessed to be Catholic - the weaknesses of the Church have taught me not to judge and to trust God first. I can’t go around laughing at other denominations - even religions because I’ve had to really consider my faith and it’s by Grace I’m here. To err is human, our “religions” are but human interpretations of the grace of God. Just because someone professes religion doesn’t mean they will do good. The many comments from other Christians regarding confession or the way others pray remind us that we should pray always, and above all, love our neighbors as ourselves. Let everyone - pastor, priest m or President - who is doing wrong in the name of God, be brought to light - that’s the right thing to do. The faith does not stand on the shoulders of the wolves, but those who have been called by Grace. Light shines in the darkness.

Anyway, your comment makes me YAWN with boredom - if only I had a dime for every time an atheist posted an “original” comment informing everyone that God isn’t real or for one mocking a Christian for believing a “fairytale” At least come up with some new material if you want to score “likes” for your ridicule About 75% of the US population are Christians so good luck at your attempts to dissuade them all.

Religion may not be perfect but that doesn't mean its all bad. Sure, theres a history of (in)directly committing or having others commit heinous acts of violence towards others, often the most unsuspecting/defenseless/innocent on its behalf. And psychopaths, pedophiles, murderers, etc... hav often used religion as a tool or a cover (gain victim's trust/respect, justify hellish acts as moral/right when on behalf of/in the name of God). (Just referring to Christianity here bc thats relevant to the vid) - Has the church done everything in its power to provide transparency & aide in pursuit of justice? No, the opposite actually. - Has the church created a profession tht attracts predator types, then forbids marriage, swears em to celebacy while simultaneously making ppl enter a dark closet & whisper fuck secrets in their ear thru a hole in the wall? Unfortunately, yes & still do. - Have they used their vast power & influence to bring about justice & restitution to its victims? Nope, only protect their predators by moving them to other unsuspecting church - Religious Wars? Yup I kno thats alot of bad stuff & unfortunately, all true. If this was a corporation tht had done any of this, they wouldn't exist anymore. Yet, this continues. But all of that said, there is also a lot of good that many find in religion. You cannot discount the positive affect it has on millions of ppl's lives. & if that betters their lives, then great. If that elevates their mood, confidence, lives, & encourages ppl to be charitable & help yur family & neighbors & misfortunate - then thats alot of good coming from religion thts happening worldwide every single day that u just never hear about. This is why its such a big deal when this happens bc its not what you'd expect & so contradictory to the positive contributions the church is normally known for. Do yur own pro/con list. & you'll see that u don't even rly believe that nothing good cones from religion or the church. Personally, id say offering everyone an afterlife is enough to weigh out the bad or at least its a great start towards redemption for them

Men & women need to learn respect for themselves, and for others as those who respect do not violate, abuse, demoralize others.
