AN ANTHOLOGY OF TRUE CRIME OCCURRING INSIDE THE CHURCHKILLER PRIEST HANS SCHMIDTFor some people, the Catholic church has always been a place of respite. A place to practice their faith, and to commune with God. For others, the Catholic church has always been at the center of conspiracy and secrets. The Catholic church has always tried to keep the scandals that fall under their watchful eye under wraps, and for good reason. Many of them are so horrific that people would demand an overhaul of the entire system, for the safety of the victims. Of course, the scandals and conspiracies of the Catholic church date way, way back. For some, they are much more recent: in the last hundred years, or so.Many people have different experiences with the Catholic church, that much is for sure. Despite the scandals, there can be no way to definitively say whether it's the church itself, or the bad apples that are drawn to it for the positions of power they can take up. For those who met with Hans B. Schmidt, a German Roman Catholic priest, their experience with the Catholic church would be their last.
