That lost Brazil balloon priest

I better not see how "saintly" he was because he lost his life doing a stupid balloon stunt to "raise money for a trucker's spiritual rest stop."

Shut up and stop the secular drama! He wasted what could have been a long life of ministering to the poor by doing this stunt.

Those who encouraged him should be ashamed and beg God for mercy. You should have donated to his beloved cause so that he NOT go up in the balloon, rather than pledging for him to go and risk his life. How stupid! Don't think that God is unaware that there was a hidden motivation having to do with the giggle factor of a men's "rest stop" along the road with this whole fund raising "idea."

If he was really saintly instead of a chump to the instigators he would have taken two chairs and a blanket or umbrella to a trucker's rest stop one day a week and sat and listened to confessions. That is how the real saints of old time did it. They didn't 'raise money' with 'stunts' for built facilities. They sat in huts, under blankets or out in the open and listened to confessions for hour after hour. THEY were there, not the building. A PRIEST hearing confession brings people to God, not a building. Another dead and wasted priest and another trucker homo joke. God's not laughing.
