A Brazilian priest mentioned in the Catholic clergy sex abuse film “Spotlight” has been found dead in a prison cell after he was arrested again for suspected pedophilia.

The Rev. Bonifacio Buzzi, 57, hanged himself with a sheet in a jail in the state of Minas Gerais, where he was taken after his arrest on Friday, authorities said in a statement. His body was discovered on Monday (Aug. 8).

A decade ago Buzzi was convicted of abusing a 10-year-old boy in Minas Gerais and jailed from 2007 to 2015. He was arrested last week after criminal complaints that he had molested two boys aged 9 and 13.

...

Buzzi got a reduced sentence (for a 1995 offense - trotsky) and the Catholic Church obtained a court order allowing him to serve it out at the home of the local archbishop.

At least his act of suicide will prevent him from harming more children - unlike the actions taken by his church.

1. Isn't suicide a worse sin than molesting children, according to the RCC?

Suicide is a big no-no in the church. I guess his guilt was greater than his belief in his God.

3. Guilt? Nah. He was just more afraid of living than dying.

2. Yay, BestPriest!

An excellent example to set for the rest of the kidfuckers.
