A British clergyman died after a night of sex and drugs with a Belgian priest who has since been arrested on drug-related charges, Belgian authorities said on Saturday.

The 69-year-old, who has not been named, was spending the evening with his fellow cleric, 60, at a clergy house in Kalmthout north of Antwerp on Thursday when he became unwell, the prosecutor office said.

Shortly after midnight, the Belgian priest called the emergency services, who could not resuscitate his companion.

“It appears that the two men had used ecstasy and poppers together and had had sex. Two ecstasy pills were also found,” the prosecutor’s office said.

    Hell isn’t real, but in this case I hope he went.

    Edit: I’m confused by the downvotes. Are we saying that people that have dedicated their lives to telling others they are going to be eternally punished and are a bad person because of the way they were born should have some sort of eternal reward when it turns out they were fucking hypocrites? I just want to make sure I’m clear on it. The “God hates ****” crowd gets into heaven after they die from having too much gay sex, and we’re OK with that? Coolcoolcool. I guess you can keep the downvotes coming, because I have no love for the clergy and see organized religion and its leaders as a fucking plague on humankind that should be wiped from existence, so my opinion on this matter will not change. They can burn.

      They were European, do not confuse them with American nutjobs.

            Oh, are we ignoring all of the right wing shit coming out of Europe right now? Are we calling the last 2000 years of catholic rule as “growing pains”? We can just write it all off now that the priests are into poppers and bufu.

      I assume you know these specific people and went to their sermons? If not then you’ve basically created an elaborate fantasy about people you don’t know, got angry about it and wished them a fate worse than death.

            No. It’s a yes. I know them all too well. I know everything they’ve said. I know them like I know my own family. I hope they burn in hell.

              I asked you do you know these specific individuals in the story. You then go “I know a book” implying you don’t know these specific individuals. I don’t care about your prejudice and stereotyping - I asked if you know these people, not “the big bad clergy”.

      The downvotes are probably because there’s no context, and the prescribed context from the article makes it seem like you don’t like the gays™
