From the only reliable source of Catholic news on the net, Eye of the Tiber:
Powell admitted that he may have missed signs that his cousin was being radicalized, pointing out that he had once found what looked to be “bits and pieces” of human remains held in reliquaries in his Whitaker’s bedroom.
There has never been anything more radical on this planet than a human soul truly in love with Jesus Christ.
I understand the FBI crime lab is investigated a beaded device the priest carried, assuming it was some type of triggering device. Insiders report that these types of devices have been seen being used by religious zealots in the middle east.
However: “This has absolutely nothing to do with Catholicism!”
For lisping legions of Obama-worshiping imbeciles, Catholics and certain, real Christians (angry white men and women/bitter clingers) are Public Enemy Number Two, after the NRA.
I’d bet this nutcase was also found in possession of the dangerous chemical dihydrogen monoxide, which he had undoubtedly blessed and then thrown at the people.
And would you believe the folks who reported this unfortunate gentleman to the authorities were admirers of Pope Francis.
Those beaded devices work best when set to “Full Salvation;” when the heat seeking Hail Marys are said with rapt attention, and the evil-piercing Our Fathers are recited with as much hope and faith as one can muster. But be careful, very careful, in many Democrat-controlled cities, states and govt offices and agencies, “prayer shaming” – even when packing concelaed rosary heat with a permit [certificate of baptism] and saying prayers in silence – will soon be a hate crime. And God help you [pun intended] if you try to smuggle weaponized beads onto an airplane. Guy McClung, San Antonio, Texas USA
Catholics have a tremendous weapon’s advantage in the “bead wars.” Praying the entire rosary (three decades) entails fingering 55×3+5=170 beads, while the Muslim subha (prayer beads) are fingered only 33×3=99 times in the course of the prayer. No contest.

Beads on a Plane! Oh no!
Funny thing, how many times a bad case of turbulence will find the “no atheist in fox holes,” passengers suddenly mouthing prayers.
I heard a homily about the final hours of Noah’s neighborhood. In this theory, Fr. spoke of the haters of Noah. They scorned him and his family and as the rains flooded the earth they cried out for Mercy. It’s interesting to me that the times are similar. The Ark is our Lady.
The lover’s of sin and disobedience are eagerly pushing their illness upon society. In an attempt to normalize their behavior I’m guessing. As the waters rise, we will see souls scrambling for safety. Some would rather drown in their pride. Poor lot.
