GeorgiiMichael Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 It sounds like he's going through some mental health issues. He probably isn't entirely culpable for his actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 It sounds like he's going through some mental health issues. He probably isn't entirely culpable for his actions. One may hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apotheoun Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 The burning of the pope's picture, no matter how unhappy or disappointed a person might be about the pope's resignation, really makes no sense. Prayers for the priest: May God grant him peace of mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnlySunshine Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Oh, dear. :unsure: Sounds like the priest needs some personal leave to deal with his mental health issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autumn Dusk Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Mental health issues or not, this is how I often feel is thought in the minds of many people who have divided the church into three factions, traditional, charasmatic and "that 70's Catholic" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the new pope can address that issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightofChrist Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) It sounds like he's going through some mental health issues. He probably isn't entirely culpable for his actions. Mental health issues make him sound like he maybe insane or something. Perhaps he was just angry because of his profound grief.

Papist Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Orengo said he would inform Church authorities about the incident, adding that Maggi was going through a "fragile" time from a psychological point of view. Ya think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
