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.

The family of Ben Martinez, 80, allege that Reverend Scott Mansfield said he was "living in sin," "lukewarm in his faith" and that "the Lord vomited people like Ben out of his mouth to hell".

So hard to find a good catholic priest nowadays :-)

Organized Religion in general can tend to get pretty corrupt.

Well is does say in the bible, if you are lukewarm in your faith god shall spit you out of his mouth. So if he was living in sin, what the preist said was the truth.

Demonspawn and heathen sounds like a 70's cop show.

I actually found the original post (content) to be hilarious, can you imagine being at a funeral of a near and dear one and the priest starts saying the departed will be vomitted straight to hell...hell i'd have trouble not laughing if I was there.
