This is just another manifestation of reckless narcissism.
A pleasure cruise off the coast of Somalia, to distribute Bibles to bloodthirsty Muslims? Oh, maybe they brought Bibles. But this was about bragging rights.

As I understand it, they were 300 miles out, usually considered safe territory, but the pirates are moving further out.
It’s incredibly tacky to criticize these people because you think they are rich and self indulgent.

It sounds like jealousy to me.
I honestly believe (hopefully) that their final moments were in humble and prayerful gratitude that they were martyrs for the Christan faith, and this was the most meaningful aspect of their lives. Not for their personal glory, but for the glory of God.
So many have gone before them, “needlessly” giving their lives for the glory of God.
Sainthood is not reserved for the poor. You’d rather they cruised off Saint Barts or Monaco, instead of spreading the Word to the poor in hostile territory?
Sounds like you are jealouse of them.
