Holy Crap. I mean, really

A friend of mine sent me this article which I really don't know what to say about:

A Catholic priest in New Mexico is being sued by the family of a dead man he said would be going straight to Hell.

Relatives of Ben Martinez claim that, during his funeral, the Rev Scott Mansfield said: "The Lord vomited people like Ben out of his mouth to Hell."

According to the lawsuit, the priest was angry at Martinez for not attending church during the last year of his life.

The suit, filed by his widow, three sons, a daughter and their spouses, claims they were devastated and humiliated by the priest's statements.

It also claims his comments at the funeral in Chama caused relatives of Martinez to have nightmares, depression, anxiety attacks and need therapy.

Mr Martinez's family say he wasn't able to attend Mass because he had emphysema and suffered severe bouts of coughing.

He died at the age of 80 and about 200 people attended his funeral.

The priest was subsequently transferred to another parish, reports the Santa Fe New Mexican.

I'll just say this, you know what's the biggest problem with radical Christians? That they're so certain they're right, those who don't accept their view of truth will be damned to hell.

What this priest did is disgusting, but not altogether surprising.
