Father Vincente

For those of you who've been hoping that somehow the Honduran government would put an end to Father Vincente's mistreatment of children here is some good news...

Fiscaglia has issued arrest warrants for Father Vincente and Virginia(the prior caregiver) pertaining to the death of the younger brother of Fabiola, Mauricio, & Angel; William. William was 2 years old and died mysteriously, but it has now been determined that he was beaten to death and the Justice Dept. is holding these two responsible. The paper today says that as soon as they are located they will be arrested. So although this appears to put to rest this time of overt maltreatment of children there is still one issue to resolve...we need to pray for the souls of Father Vincente and Virginia that through this ordeal they are about to enter into their hearts will soften toward the Lord, they will confess, repent, and seek forgiveness. The real victory will be when they have secured their place in heaven!

The timing of this announcement is ironic. We just did a Bible Study on the sermon on the mount with the children and while explaining the part about praying for your enemies we asked the children if they could pray for Father Vincente; and they were appalled. We did, as best we could, explain that praying for their salvation did not mean absolving them from their deeds. And now this comes out in the paper. We will not share this with children.
