A Catholic priest in Mexico who killed his son so the Church would not know he had broken vows of celibacy has been jailed for 55 years in Mexico City.

Dagoberto Valle Arriaga had confessed in 2005 to killing his son, Oscar.

State prosecutors have not released the boy's age nor any details about his murder, but local media are reporting that he was 16 when he was killed.

Mr Valle, who was a priest in the city of Texcoco, on the outskirts of the capital, was arrested ion 2006.

He was accused of kidnapping his son in September 2005 and bringing him to the central state of Guanajuato before murdering him.

The authorities released no details of how the boy was killed, but it appears that his father dumped his body in the outskirts of a city called Acambaro.

Officials said he was afraid the Church would find out about the boy's existence and remove him from the priesthood for breaking his vows of celibacy.

Celibacy is considered obligatory for Roman Catholic priests, although some Church officials have said it is not prescribed doctrine.

Roughly 150,000 men worldwide have left the priesthood to marry. The Church considers them outcasts.

can't fathom his fanaticism, obssessiveness of his faith that led to commit such crime....

why people has to inflict pain for their own advancements?

One of life's greatest irony.

In the name of the faith of my religion,
I shall violate its commandment.
So I can continue to discharge my holy duties,
So must I commit an unholy act.

[lumine]

this is a hair-raising news!

[Happy]

Thats terrible thing to do, labi na kay nagserve siya.. nya nipadayon pa jud. wala oroy siya makilati.

[junayag]

if he can do it to his own son, how much more to non-blood related?

[hazel]

siya pa ba kaha ang mo bendesyon sa iyang anak nga gipatay?

seriously, ka hadlok ni father oi...na himo namang killer!

[Happy]

musamot na gyud biay-biayon ang atong relihiyon..

wala baya na sa relihiyon, naa aman sa tawo.. dili lang gud pud e-generalize kay dili baya tanan pareha.

Yes, one should not look to the religion for blame but on the people who claim to profess it.  In having fathered a child, this priest may have failed to observe his vows but the Church is not beyond forgiving one who asks for forgiveness.  The reasons why he killed his son are his alone and he will be made to answer for the gruesome murder, if not by human justice than perhaps by a higher justice.

dapat lagi tanggalon na ang vow of celibacy sa mga roman catholic priest!

[-<GEC348>-]

Without the vow of celibacy,
Many will join the priesthood!

[tarsier]

In Mexico, the priest kills his own son.

In the Philippines, the priest migrates to the US. That's why we have plenty of pinoy priests in the US and Canada, when they should have been here for it is here where we need them most.

Without the vow of celibacy,

you know what guys! our PROVINCE is known among priests and religious to be the seed bed of vocations. daghang mga pari ug madre nga tagabohol. in fact some would say that in "every family has a priest" but as time goes by, medyo nabaliktad na daw: "every priest has a family"!!! which i think very visible nowadays to SOME priests in BOHOL. WHAT DO U THINK?
