🤔 Art predicting reality? Priest’s shocking death recreates scene from satanism-themed film Father Sanchez Molinari, a Catholic priest from Guayaquil, Ecuador, was killed after a heavy wooden crucifix mounted on a wall behind him came loose and collapsed during a weekend mass. The mass was livestreamed, leading the gut-wrenching footage to spread virally. Adding to the eeriness, Father Sanchez Molinari was discussing the spontaneity and unpredictability of death just moments before he was killed, urging congregants to spend more time on family and God, and less time doom scrolling, thinking about money, and other earthly concerns. 👉 And in another layer of mystery, the 1995 Spanish-Italian film The Day of the Beast features an eerily similar scene of a priest being killed in exactly the same manner – with a heavy cross falling on him. But with one small caveat. In the film, the cross falls on a priest agreeing to help a fellow clergyman planning to commit as many sins as possible to infiltrate satan’s ranks and kill the antichrist (a bizarre twist on the 17th-century Jewish mystic heresy known as Sabbatean Frankism – allegedly adhered to by many of today’s global elites). Father Sanchez Molinari, by contrast, was beloved by his community, and had a reputation as a pious priest of the Redemptionist sect of the Church – whose mission involves preaching the Gospel to society’s most destitute. However, the visual similarity of the incident, down to the build of the priests involved, has the internet spooked. 👍 Substack | Chat | @geopolitics_prime
