Spanish priest, 80, found naked and strangled to death at home in 'lovers dispute' - as man, 40, arrested
Daily Mail ^ | January 26, 2024 | Stewart Carr

The body of an elderly priest accused of paying male migrants for sex was discovered naked in bed in his Spanish apartment.

Alfonso López Benito, 80, a former canon of Valencia Cathedral, was found deceased on Tuesday by a friend and janitor who had gone to pay him a visit.

A postmortem found he had died by suffocation and had likely been dead for several days.

A 40-year-old South American man has been arrested on suspicion of murder. Described as a Peruvian immigrant, he was said to have tried to use the priest's bank card in a local bar.

Police have theorised that Fr Benito's death could have been the result of a violent argument between lovers.

Fr Benito had allegedly been asked by the Archbishop's office in Valencia to stop bringing lovers to his home, which was owned by the Catholic church.

Neighbours are said to have complained about the noise from the late priest's encounters.

According to local media reports, there were no signs of a break-in and no obvious signs of injury on the body, leading them to suspect the killer was not a stranger.

However, someone had been using Fr Benito's phone to send messages to his friends and associates in the period after his death, raising investigators' suspicions.

Isn’t 80 the new 40?

Another sign of the times...depraved, debauched, lost in sin and headed for where it’s hot, hot, hot....for eternity. There’s going to be a reckoning and it won’t be pretty. Lord, what are you waiting for? Haven’t we hit bottom already?

This special moment had been brought to you by the Roman Catholic Church.

As bad as it is, we aren’t soddom and ghomorah yet where “everyone did evil continually “ day and night. Thankfully our nation still has a fairly large remnant of believers- but with all the talk about Davos and WEF and the un pushing for a one ao4ld government/law, i think we are closing in on the end times. Justice is being thrown out the window as evidenced by totally corrupt judgements on Chauvin case, jan 6 case, Trump case, and many many other travertine of justice where criminals are let go while innocent civilians are arrested instead- I think we are closing in on the one world,government as the left disregard our rights and use their forces agaisnt us to take over the nation and relinquish control to the un or wef or whoever.

Exactly- we are starting to witness an I creased hostile by the left towards Christians. Outright hostility and hateful rhetoric- efen our own gov has declared Christians to be “domestic terrorists” who need to be watched and monitored.

The things that are happening go right along with the end time prophecies- and it’s all,happened very quickly too- its shocking how quickly the left have moved to denying the nation our rights- an more and worse is yet to come. It’s zlso,sho king how fast wef and their satanic ideology has been thrust into the mainstream, and how godless and determined they are to make their agenda world policy.

The wo4ld I was born into ceased when oblama took office and declared his intentions to take the nation by force by “fundamentally changing” pur nation into a socialist/Marxist nation.

Barky also declared he was “a citizen of the world 🌎🌍”

Couldn’t have been more obvious.

(The things that are happening go right along with the end time prophecies- and it’s all,happened very quickly too)

They are definitely hurrying down the path. 😱😳😲🥺🤯😮

While there are many people that can see the rapid decline, I also speak to many people who just respond with blinking eyes. They don’t think anything is wrong. Or they’re in complete denial.

There is a cleverly-timed comment regarding the Lying Kenyan in the Kevin Sorbo version of Left Behind (movie 🎥).

I finally watched it about 5 days ago.

I’ll let you see it first-hand. It was well-played.

Homo-cide. Common in the gay “community”. Goes uninvestigated by the police and unpunished in the courts.

What a queer story about migrants and promiscuity at any age and all....

What did the media here say when Trump observed, "they're not sending their best." The media raged and roiled and howled in pain.
