Church sued for 'hell prediction'

New frontiers in litigation:
Quote:
A New Mexico family is suing its local Catholic church over a funeral Mass at which the priest allegedly said their relative was going straight to hell.

Well as a concept it is probably ok to tell them that. I do not know if he was living in sin or luke warm in his faith. However, if my bible training is correct and the allegations were correct I would guess he was going to burn in hell.

Kinda tacky though.

The parish transfer sounds like a bunch of BS though. Catholic church seems to make alot of these mistakes imo. Transfer a problem rather than deal with it.

I thought most people were going to hell according to the Catholic church. Why is this family surprised at all?

what a coinkidink ... typical of the church these days though

Nothing says I love you like "the Lord vomited people like Ben out of his mouth to hell".

OK, epidemic. ALL of your family members suffer and die before your eyes. You're in deep deep DEEP sorrow and anger and then your local priest-friend comes up to you and says they're all going to hell to suffer forever. I don't know about you, but that's some heavy pain he's laying on you. I'd pursure him for mental abuse, but not physical.

Perhaps it is mental abuse but lets take this a bit further.

I assume that these people are faithful and know gods laws.
As such they know this to be true. I am not saying that the church should not can his but for creating an environment not in keeping with the churches teachings. But you are not free from peoples opinion. This is not liable, slander... If you can recoup money on this then that opens up the flood gates to all sorts of stupid lawsuits.

I hate your car. Now has precident as causing mental anguish. I mean after all they are calling into question your ability to choose a vehicle, your money, your whole being is destroyed.

The church should can the guy because it was mean but I do not vote for lawsuits due to rudeness or hurt feelings when someone expresses their beliefs.

Saying "I hate your car" is NOTHING compared to what that priest-man did.
