  1. Bidenโ€™s open border will bring violence like weโ€™ve never seen before.

  2. He probably touched a little boy decades age, and that boy turned into a man, and came to exact his revenge.

  3. He probably molested someone ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿคฃ

  4. I am the LORD Jesus Christ. I have returned in My second coming. No good will come from denying Me in My return while practicing religions based on Me whether Christianity or Islam or otherwise. Evil has grown too great in the World now.

  5. Of snap ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ This is pure evil! So sad. RIP ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ๐ŸŒน

  6. priests touch kids and he probably got what was coming to him

  7. then how did you identify him?

  8. He molested the wrong kid. Dad had his revenge sounds like to me

  9. He may have been a pedo.

    They need to look into whether or not there was a history of accusations..

  10. Not much information here…no cause of death etc… wrong to speculate too much, spontaneous combustion?

  11. If Thise donโ€™t show we in the end time I donโ€™t know what else buning priest God may you come soon

  12. ๐Ÿค”โ€ฆSooo if a body is burned beyond recognition scientist can use DNA to determine if the person is male or female?โ€ฆ R.I.P ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ

  13. No we are not ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

  14. You maybe want to tell us more about how they came to be burned? House fire? Arson? Self immolation?
    Horrible reporting.
    "Being burnt beyond recognition makes it harder to identify the bodies"
    Are you f'ing kidding me with that sentence? Are you as dumb as you think your viewers are?

  15. How horrible, that demon probably murdered those two wonderful people for the change in their pockets. Death penalty.

  16. I hate all religions equally period but my hate doesn't mean I would go out and murder people for believing different if they want to believe in a magic sky daddy etc.. that's their business can't help but to wonder if this has something to do with the pedophile priests who hurt children but then people are just crazy and getting crazier it's just sad to see humans acting inhumane towards one another ๐Ÿ˜ต๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

  17. He should have accepted Trump as his lord and savior.

  18. God gotta messed up sense of humor

  19. That looks personal he did something he had no business doing

  20. You left out a WHOLE LOT of details. Was it a house fire? Did they spontaneously combust? Was it Arsen?
    Was it… M U R D E R ? ๐Ÿ‘ฟ
    It is a sign when a priest burst into flames in his own church, but they won't give any details.

  21. I wonder what they did?

  22. Who else went straight to child molestation? Just me?

  23. maybe the 2 burned a couple of bodies and ran away because they were lovers.

  24. Priests don't retire, it's not a business it's a calling, he was hiding. Something not right here

  25. Welcome to loseranna. The only thing we have going for us is our Governor Edwards that fought for us through the pandemic and some small town mayors. The rest of them as in Senator's are only out for themselves. They couldn't give a crap less about anything but continuing to pad their pockets. They love the racial division, works for them and do absolutely nothing for this state. I've lived in a number of places in the United States, in the military and beyond. I've never seen the racial divide as stark on both sides as I've seen here. The abject poverty, drug problems and we're not talking weed, which is still illegal here, Legalize Nationwide! is horrible. In many places the drinking water is contaminated and they don't tell anyone for months, yet, get away with it. The most toxic state in the United States. And yet, Mr. I'm a good ole boy, Kennedy, not relation to President, stays in power. Well, no primaries here either. How convenient for him.
    If it wasn't for my grandchildren, I wouldn't live here.
    With that last thought in mind. I have found, in my life, in my walk as a Christian, that I have found myself in situations, places and experiencing things that never asked for. But I believe, with all my heart, that what ever battle the Lord sends me to, through and thus far survived, is for a reason. Warrior on brothers and sisters! The Father, Son and Holy Spirit hasn't brought us this far in order to let us drown. This world is really not our home. We're just passing through.

  26. (Yawn) ๐Ÿ˜ด What happened? Does ANYONE care? NO? Me neither.

  27. Everyone has secrets

  28. where was god when this happened?

  29. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธBiden's America ๐Ÿ”ช๐Ÿ”ซ๐Ÿ”จ๐Ÿ’ƒ

  30. December is Satan's favorite month to collect dead souls
