Just wondering how much coverage this actually gets in the news—like, will it even make the front page? Because honestly, this whole thing is a way bigger deal than what they're showing us.

'It’s blindingly obvious in America right now that there’s a literal manhunt out for journalists—they've basically manufactured this whole atmosphere where reporters are being lynched and blamed for every single thing that goes wrong.'

😂😂

Pretty decent clown, I guess.

Honestly, don't even bother commenting on him—we're talking about a priest who actually tells people they're possessed by the devil during Easter services.🤦

Elizabeth Mendoza said:Clown, you’re honestly just desperate to label me as "imaginative" or schizophrenic. That's a pretty decent clown move, using such a heavy vocabulary against someone you're clearly just venting at. 🐔

I'm not looking for it at all, so you'll just have to find him yourself 😁

I walked into that empty church and honestly, it just forced me to sit there and rethink everything about life.

I figure you, and even Elizabeth Mendoza, are both smart enough to actually sit with that thought for a second and really process it.

For me, it just made closing churches seem like a no-brainer. They could've had services held a few times a day, maybe even a sign-up sheet so everyone knew who was there and when, plus hand sanitizer, gloves, masks, social distancing... I mean, if you have 10-15 people, just disinfect the whole place before and after mass. What actually caught me off guard—and wasn't exactly pleasant—was seeing how much conformism and materialism have already crawled deep into the church's soul.

Elizabeth Mendoza said:It doesn't matter that you didn't Elaborate on what you meant by me "seeing an imaginary thing soon."

I know exactly what you were getting at 😉, but it's just classic behavior for a hardcore Catholic zealot—you take a little jab, pull back, and then act like you're being all innocent and silly. 🙂

Everyone’s gonna see him, including you. Only problem is, when it actually happens, you'll probably think you're having a schizophrenic episode instead of realizing it's real.😉

restlesssurfer97 said:The bottom line is that this woman basically manufactured a whole drama out of thin air because the church was empty—which, honestly, I’m still wrapping my head around myself—so there was zero actual substance to work with. She walked inside, ran straight into a total jerk, and then got exactly what she wanted: a confrontation she could spin into some big headline. If that guy hadn't stepped up and shut her down, she would've almost certainly marched right up to the altar, filming everything closer and closer until someone else intervened, and when nobody stopped her, she probably would've started badgering those poor old ladies sitting in the pews just to fish for some ridiculous quote so she could make the whole country laugh at how clueless these religious types are.

Short and sweet.

Anthony Jackson2 said:What do you mean, provoked? Was she insulting them? Throwing punches? Walking into a church with a pentagram? I watched the video and didn't see any provocation at all—just someone filming a building, which happens all the time.🤷

Look, you're only seeing what actually made it onto camera 😉

Elizabeth Mendoza said:Elaborate on what you mean by saying I'll "see the imaginary soon," then.

You got all worked up about being insulted, so why are you coming at me now? Why aren't you taking the high road?🤷

I'm not insulting you, honey—I'm telling you this because I care, truly,

"The Seagull melts in the waves, life is found in love, and love is found in tears. Love ya.

Paul Martinez73 said:I guess I'm siding with restlesssurfer97 and wiredrider9 on this one...🤣

Look, when things go south, you gotta make some desperate moves just to survive. 🤣

Elizabeth Mendoza said:Are you seriously trying to wish death upon me with that bolded comment?

You know how they say it: talk about a pig, and you'll hear nothing but squealing. 🕺

wish you were dead 🤣🙏

Look, man, when you're dealing with this kind of stuff, that whole priest thing is just totally trivial. ☕

Elizabeth Mendoza said:Oh, I see. So because something has been happening for 500 years and involves religion, they just get to bypass the laws that everyone else in the country has to follow?

I mean, every single small town in America has some ancient tradition or religious parade. If we follow that logic, anyone could walk up today and ask why *their* specific group got a special pass while everyone else stays stuck with the standard rules.

The odds of a virus spreading because hospitals and nursing homes don't have basic gear—masks, gloves, you name it (and trust me, we saw how much of a disaster that was in those facilities)—are a thousand times higher than some priest and a handful of people holding mass. Clowns should be tackling the actual problems instead of this nonsense; a little less being stuck in the past wouldn't hurt.

Elizabeth Mendoza said:Come on, you Catholics, go ahead and play the victim—it’s what you guys do best.

Those "zealots" are actually one of the most persecuted and targeted religious groups on the planet.😉

Elizabeth Mendoza said:So why doesn't the rulebook apply to them?

Look, the rules *did* work for the idiots—because let’s be real, you've got hundreds, maybe even thousands of low-IQ morons drifting through that parade they've been running for centuries anyway.

Elizabeth Mendoza said:Why are the shops still running? Because for a regular person, grabbing something to eat is way more important than staring at a crisis and praying to some imaginary figure born from one foolish woman's excuse to her husband, which somehow turned into an entire religion.

Maybe it’s also because you have to sanitize your hands at the entrance of most Walmarts and they only let small groups in, whereas every single Dar, Mary, and Lucy who thinks fighting a virus with garlic and moonshine is a valid strategy would swarm right into a church. You'd end up with a bunch of low-IQ idiots packed into a tight space, creating a total hotspot.

Your arguments are straight-up garbage—just pure hate and mockery at this point. Look, you obviously can't host a massive party on a 5,000-square-foot floor plan where you've got 15 people wandering around, sitting, and standing everywhere. Only someone with zero common sense would think that works—but hey, I guess you’re clearly bursting with all that "genius" energy, right? Just constant insults and ridicule... honestly, this kind of trash shouldn't even be allowed on the platform. But sure, go ahead, call it "freedom of speech" if it makes you feel better.

Just try editing some guy's photo and you'll see what happens soon enough.

Anthony Jackson2 (No content provided to rewrite.)
Man, it’s honestly pathetic—the cops didn't even realize it was a Mass. It’s just wild how everyone else seemed to be in the loop while the actual authorities were completely clueless.

It’s the exact same old story with that mediocre "for the cross" crowd—you honestly think anyone else would ever get a permit to round up a hundred people just to cause a circus in the middle of the street? But nope, the Church gets a free pass because apparently, laws don't apply to them. Clearly, that goes for this situation too.

What hundred people are we even talking about? What kind of circus was that supposed to be? I was over at the local park—you know, near the pier—and there wasn't even a handful of people there, let alone hundreds.

Paul Martinez73 said:And nobody is arguing against that. You wait for the service to end, film everything from the exterior, and you're done. If you're planning on filming someone in their car, you just say, "Excuse me, I'm a reporter, mind if I film you?" Or you just wait for them to step out. It's simple, and nobody would give you a hard time about it.

If you’re looking for a confrontation, this is how you get it—by barging in and filming people inside their churches like you're hunting for witches.
There's always a way to handle things like a decent human being... 🤷

Yeah, but if she had actually acted that way or behaved like that, she wouldn't be playing the victim right now—you know, the whole "attacked journalist," "he insulted me," "he grabbed my arm" routine. Her goal wasn't even some journalistic scoop; it was clearly just to make all this chaos happen.

Elizabeth Mendoza said:The place wasn't full, and it wasn't empty. Either way, if there's a ban on gatherings, people should just follow it. Honestly, both the folks in the church and those idiots over at Yahoo are being just as clueless here. You've got reporters trying to force a confrontation just to manufacture drama and chase clicks. It’s ridiculous. There was no reason to be blocking things up with a car; he could have just filmed from the sidewalk in a public area. He didn't need to sit in his car waving his arms around—he could've just rolled down the window and parked nearby.

As for stepping inside the church? Yeah, no. You can't just wander into a private building when it isn't a public space.

Seriously, if they're enforcing this, why are Walmarts still open? Why were there a hundred times more people out during the Fourth of July weekend, yet that didn't make the news for days? Come on, man. If this were some guy keeping a dive bar open with a couple of buddies, nobody would care. But because it’s a priest and a church? Oh, let's goooooooo!

Jessica Gonzalez said:It’s actually pretty interesting to see how some of those #stayhome extremists have started posting photos from Santa Monica lately.

There were probably a hundred times more people down at Santa Monica, but I guess that doesn't matter to the "journalists" as much as some clown priest and a couple of old ladies—you know how it goes, they just want to stir up a scandal whenever they see a priest acting out, because apparently that's way more important than actual news.

Elizabeth Mendoza said:From what I can tell, that footage was shot on some gravel backroad, or is this guy seriously just driving his car through a church parking lot?

She’s got absolutely no right to just shove a camera in someone's face like that.
