| Father Ed Hinds was found murdered when he didn't show up for Mass |
A Catholic priest in Chatham, New Jersey was found dead this morning in his home. Father Ed Hinds of Saint Patrick's Church was scheduled to say Mass at 8 a.m. this morning, but when he didn't show, a parishioner went looking for him.
The father was found dead in the kitchen of the rectory. Police won't say how he was injured or what weapon might have been used. All we know is that Father Ed was killed sometime between 11 p.m. last night and 8 a.m. this morning...
Ironically, police and Secret Service agents were just at the church last night to teach kids about internet and personal safety. Their appearance reportedly attracted a wall-to-wall crowd.

| Father Ed Hinds was reportedly beaten to death |
The father's body was found with "multiple traumas," though police aren't elaborating on the specifics. Since the father worked with the poor, Morris County Prosecutor Robert Bianchi says the assailant may have been someone Father Ed helped in the past.
"This
was a community leader whose arms were wide open to the downtrodden.
Maybe one of those individuals was involved. That kind of
generosity is preyed upon."
another pedophile?
Posted 10/24/2009 at 04:34:20 PMFr Ed Hinds was a very fine priest and will be missed not only by his birth family but also by his spiritual family in Chatham but also by his brother priests in the Paterson Diocese and beyond.
Prayerfully,

It saddens me to learn that a man of God lost his life in such a manner. I will include Fr. Hinds and his family and friends in my prayers.
Posted 10/24/2009 at 09:40:35 PMFr. Ed was our pastor and our chancellor of the Knights of Columbus @ St. Pat's. He was very active with the church and the community. He was very intelligent and articulate in his sermons. He was always there to help anyone who needed it. What happened to him was unspeakable. Fr. Ed you will be in our prayers.
Posted 10/25/2009 at 02:55:16 AM@Ritchie Honecker Just because he was a Catholic priest doesn't mean he was 'another pedophile'. There are decent men of God, you know.
Posted 10/25/2009 at 03:43:28 PMit shameful that some one would post such a disgraceful comment like this " another pedophile" grow up people of the world, this is a man who left father , mother, brothers, sisters, to serve God in his vine yard and was murdered in such a painful way. Rest in peace Fr. Ed, may christ and our blessed mother welcome u in their kingdom were there is no pain or sorrow, rest in peace.

Well, why else would he be murdered?
"Morris County Prosecutor Robert Bianchi says the assailant may have been someone Father Ed helped in the past."
Is there evidence that he was robbed?
