A Catholic bishop in Southern California was shot and killed Saturday just blocks from a church.

"It's very early in the investigation," said LASD Homicide Bureau Detective Michael Modica, according to CBS Los Angeles."We got a lot more steps we have to take to make more determination to what's happening." . Pope Francis had named him one of several auxiliary bishops of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles — the largest in the country — in 2015.

O'Connell was found in Hacienda Heights around 1 p.m. Saturday with a gunshot wound. Sheriff's deputies were called to the area — just blocks from the St. John Vianney Catholic Church, which is part of O'Connell's archdiocese — on a report of a medical emergency. An investigator walks in front of the house where Bishop David O'Connell was murdered in Hacienda Heights.Masses at churches across the region were dedicated to O'Connell on Sunday. Neighbors and parishioners left flowers and candles and prayed the rosary next to police tape in Hacienda Heights. About 50 people prayed and sang in a vigil Sunday afternoon near part of the neighborhood surrounded by crime scene tape.

"I asked him if he would pray over my belly," she told The Associated Press as she and her family paid their respects at the crime scene.

Why are you surprised knowing slavery causes this to happen? Religion promotes slavery - you have no right to complain that bishops get killed when it promoted slavery. I expect bishops to be killed because they promote slavery,

RIP pedophile

It's time to end the lefts anti-Catholic hate speech.

When you pedal slavery in “slaves buys another slave” you expect this.

Touching children will have that effect. 🤣🥱💤☠️

How about that! Fentanyl is your Cash Cow Democrats can't let it go.

Open theories, since the photo above herewith released shows him posing in front of a Red Indian Aztec Virgin who is often invoked by the right wing to protect them at their protests outside termination clinics, so possibly a girl protesting her right to contracept and terminate?

Open to speculation.

This is the violent crime liberals in California wanted and voted for

Americans slaughter children in their classrooms with guns, did you think clergy were exempt? Stop complaining. Nothing’s going to change. Just suck it up buttercup.

We have a war on US citizens by domestic terror it’s being ignored while billions spend on Ukraine

'Just blocks from a church?' Is that relevant? He was killed in his home!

Now tell us about ALL the other people murdered by gun the same day.

Biden got 64% of the vote 2020....enough said
