    Imagine spending your whole life as a priest and getting cred in the faith and you die in such a way that every single person thinks God had to have killed you for some awful sin. Like, there is automatically an assumption that this guy was touching kids or something.

    Like, I’m an atheist, I don’t believe that. I think that they should have secured the cross better and he died because of poor maintenance.

    But if you’re Catholic. There is no way to not read into far too much. Dude will forever be remembered as the guy God dropped a cross on.

      You’re assuming a coherent world-view there. I don’t know how well that pairs with being Catholic in the first place, though.

        Nah, the main assumption is that Catholics love considering some event as divine intervention and that human beings love gossip. That whole church is whispering about it from one person to another.
