The internet compares Father Molinari’s death from a fallen crucifix to The Day of the Beast
Father Patricio Alfredo Sanchez Molinari was addressing his congregation for the evening Mass when a tragedy left everyone shocked. A routine sermon turned into a fatal accident. The video from the same tragedy has since been making headlines, as the Mass was livestreamed, recorded, and reshared on social media. His death was confirmed by the Archdiocese of Guayaquil in a statement expressing grief over the loss.
Now amid the buzz around Father Patricio Alfredo Sanchez Molinari’s passing, some conspiracy theorists have begun to compare his death to a scene from The Day of the Beast. They are alleging that Father Molinari’s death happened the exact same way the priest in the 1995 film died. An X user shared the post and wrote:
“On October 17, 2026, a priest in Ecuador was reportedly killed by a falling crucifix during a livestreamed Mass. In the 1995 film The Day of the Beast, a priest meets the same fate shortly after a warning about the apocalypse. 31 years apart. An eerily similar tragedy.”
Soon enough, many internet users began agreeing with the eerie similarity between the two. While some called it a “warning”, other simulation theorists alleged that it was a glitch. Nonetheless, the speculations have created a massive debate among X users about the tragedy.
For those who are not familiar with the 1995 film, The Day of the Beast has a scene where two priests can be heard talking about the cross. ‘Father Angel Berriartua’ asks the ‘Elder Priest’ if they can move the cross. ‘Father Angel’ is a Basque theology professor who decodes a hidden numerical message in the Book of Revelation, revealing that the Antichrist will be born in Madrid on Christmas Day.
‘Father Angel’ confides in the ‘Elder Priest Sacerdote Anciano’. However, moments later, a massive cross falls on him, claiming his life. Now, netizens are comparing the two incidents, even though one is fiction and the other is a real-life tragedy. A user penned, “The Day of the Beast was a movie, and we are now living a movie.” Another wrote, “The simulation plays a scripted loop.”
