Despicable.

Insane, or Muslim as well?

Acid attacks haven’t been that common in this hemisphere, as far as I know.

Insane, or Muslim as well?

My leftist detector went off on that one. My guess is Communist of some sort.

[Slyfox]

Isn’t it sad? The McCarrick’s of the world get treated with job promotions and our regular priests get spit on and worse.

Noriega’s hit squads. A family friend (Jesuit priest and University president) is on the hit list, too.

Let’s throw four or five times the same amount of acid on her and call it even.

Anyone who acid attacks someone else deserves the harshest punishment they are eligible for.

Jeeze, lady. If you don’t like the penance you got, just go to a different priest some other time!

one UNCONFIRMED statements from other news sites:

• A tweet from Sofia Montenegro Alarcon, an award-winning Nicaraguan journalist, social researcher, and feminist, said the acid attack "bears a 'chamuca' trademark of a supposed feminist, who nobody in the movement recognizes.

The woman, identified as Elis Leonidovna Gonn, originally from Russia, was detained by people in the cathedral as she tried to escape, later was arrested by the police.

According to the police report and immigration, Gonn had entered Nicaragua in September from Honduras with an Italian passport.

Born in Russia, but he left her country last year for political reasons and sexual orientation; in Italy she obtained the passport of that country upon receiving refugee status, which, according to several portals of the Italian foreign service, is legally impossible because it takes five years of legal stay in Italy for a refugee to be naturalized.

Looks like a "radical feminist" likePussyRiot

No. I don't think even the priests wants that. Our duty as Christians is to forgive insane people who know not what they do.

This women seems insane.

[Biggirl]

Or really angry former Catholic.

[Biggirl]

You can forgive but remember that the Christian faith is not a suicide pact.
