A priest in Ecuador died Saturday after a crucifix fell on him during a livestreamed Mass, according to church officials and video of the incident. The Rev. Patricio Alfredo Sánchez Molinari died Saturday, the Archdiocese of Guayaquil announced. He was the parish priest at the Church of Perpe tual Relief of the Central Vicariate, the archdiocese said. Molinari “has left to the House of the Father to enjoy his presence and glory,” it said in a news release. The Mass was livestreamed, but the video was taken down. The video, reviewed by NBC News, showed a large crucifix hanging on a wall behind Molinari suddenly falling forward onto the back of his head. Molinari was behind the altar, facing the congregation, and did not see the crucifix falling behind him. Molinari did not stand back up, and parishioners are heard on the video shrieking and crying. Some rush to tend to him. A Eucharist in his memory is scheduled for Sunday evening. ...read more read less
