Bishop goes to great heights.

Just when you thought you'd heard it all here comes -

Bishop of Buenaventura Columbia wants to spray his so called sheeple with holy water from a helicopter in a kind of mass purging of sins to bring his townsfolk out of sin.

He plans to do this july 12/13th.

Got to give him 10 out of 10 for inguinity. Now there's a dedicated Catholic for you.

Wonder if his helicopter will crash - Wouldn't that be a sign .

Would this actually be a feesable option. I doubt it.

Catholics! - Hmmmm.

This is kind of disturbing. The Columbian Navy is in favor of it.

Columbia; if you're listening: It is a port city.
The demons will simply get on their boats
and pull out to sea. It could get violent if
you attempt a naval blockade beforehand.

Yep! But what else should we expect from an establishment that has proven itself 100% ignorant in how to be a Christian.

Honor no symbol or graven image in thy name. (+) Plain as day.

"Kind of disturbing" indeed.

Maybe the bishop could hire elvis the heavy duty fire fighting helicopter instead and really make a meal of his deception.

Looks like I was disturbed enough to misspell Colombia.

Four years ago, Buenaventura found itself in the international spotlight after it was billed as the country’s most violent city. A Human Rights Watch report revealed how powerful successor groups of paramilitaries were terrorising poor neighbourhoods. Abductions and disappearances were widespread, and many people were driven from their homes.
…
But in April 2014, the community of about 300 families took a brave and unprecedented step towards wresting back control of their neighbourhood. Ignoring the death threats that they continue to face today, they formed a committee of activists and, with the help of the Inter-Church Justice and Peace Commission and Christian Aid, declared an urban “humanitarian space”, denouncing armed violence.
…
Father Jesús Alberto Franco, a leader of the Inter-Church Justice and Peace Commission, was instrumental in bringing the concept of humanitarian zones to Colombia’s rural areas. “When we first came here, we saw chaos and violence,” he says. “But we quickly saw that the violence wasn’t chaotic: it was organised and defined.”
'It was horrible before': how a deadly Colombian city became a safe haven

Looks like humanitarian zones and military patrols worked better than holy water.

If the port town wants to become a major tourist destination then pressure to drive out the indigenous and Afro-Colombians may increase. Governments sometimes support tourism, then bye-bye humanitarian zone.
