The man beaten to death (in a locked down state with no Mass) for praying was a Catholic Christian.

May he rest in peace.

Jesse Martinez became upset when the 82-year-old man sharing his hospital room started praying, according to Los Angeles police.

The Washington Post reports that the elderly man, who was sick with COVID-19, “leaned on his Catholic faith and began to pray” shortly before he was brutally beaten. . . .

May the deceased rest in peace, although it sounds like God probably welcomed him already into his heavenly kingdom and gave him a martyr’s crown.

He’s probably up there praying for his murderer right now.
