Catholic priest under investigation for 'questionable' communications with a minor kills himself

COLUMBUS, Ohio — A Catholic diocese in Ohio says a parish priest under investigation for “questionable” communications with a minor and possible misuse of church funds killed himself.

The Catholic Diocese of Columbus said in a statement Thursday that the Rev. James Csaszar killed himself Wednesday in Chicago. Csaszar was pastor of Church of the Resurrection in the Columbus suburb of New Albany.

The diocese’s statement says Csaszar was placed on administrative leave last month when officials learned of “excessive and questionable” text and phone communications with a minor and possible misuse of funds while pastor at St. Rose of Lima Parish in New Lexington.

The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation began looking into Csaszar after the diocese learned of the allegations and contacted police in New Lexington, roughly 55 miles southeast of Columbus.

1. At least he can't harm anyone else.

The closest to justice we'll get in this case.

2. OK, then.

I guess that's settled. Now, if we can just get mass shooters to start by taking their own lives, we could solve another problem.

So, a guy wonders whether Rev. Csaszar now knows if there is an afterlife. I think not.

3. Does he get a Vatican funeral?
