This is the cartel. The guy was probably just a regular priest that never did anything except anger the wrong people. Fuck the cartels. They are liars.
When the Catholic News Agency (CNA) tried tracking Ataulfo to a
source, they came up empty. Mexican archdiocese officials told CNA they
couldn’t find records matching the description given for Ataulfo, while
Father Hugo Valdemar Romero, a spokesman for the Archdiocese of Mexico, told CNA that:
This supposed priest does not belong to the Archdiocese
of Mexico – as Anonymous Mexico asserts – much less has he been let off,
as the post irresponsibly and maliciously states.
The archdiocese told CNA the name may have originally come from a
list of allegedly LGBT priests a publication called “Hablermos de
Mexico” had threatened to make public amid a national debate over
marriage equality. (We sent an inquiry to the Archdiocese of Mexico but
have not yet received a response.)
The disturbing image
attached to the Neon Nettle story appeared to be a mash-up of a
digitally-manipulated picture of a real priest lifted from the web site CourageousPriest.com and, sadly, an image of a man who was murdered
in 2014 by Al Qaeda operatives in Yemen after being accused of working
for U.S. intelligence. The man’s body was hung out in the open over a
soccer pitch and grisly images of the results were circulated online.
Neon Nettle traffics in sensational and often totally fabricated clickbait, and has a penchant for publishing gruesomebutfalse vigilante stories involving pedophilia. This tale appears to be yet another example of that proclivity. ____
NOT REAL: Pedophile Priest With HIV Who Raped 30 Children, Found Crucified Outside Church
THE FACTS: A report that a priest was found dead outside his church
in Oaxaca, Mexico, after the church exonerated him in the assaults of
young girls went viral in recent weeks. The story of the priest, Jose
Garcia Ataulfo, was published by a conspiracy site known for false
accounts. Mexico’s archdiocese has no record of the priest at the
archdiocese.
This one tracks back to the Associated Press so if you don’t like snopes this should be acceptable.
I can’t think of a reaction to say without commiting blasphemy. So I’m going to say wtf and leave it at that.
Don’t always believe what you read on the internet.
