Controversy

A recording of a sermon, given by Pastor Roger Jimenez, was posted to YouTube on June 13, 2016, the day after the Pulse Orlando Shooting (2016) which brought much criticism.

In the video, Jimenez preached to his congregation that they should not be grieving for the List of Victims of the Pulse Orlando Shooting (2016), and compared them to pedophiles. [1]

Quotes

"Are you sad that 50 pedophiles were killed today?"[1]

"Um no. I think that’s great.

I think that helps society.

I think Orlando, Florida, is a little safer tonight. The tragedy is that more of them didn’t die. The tragedy is I’m kind of upset he didn’t finish the job — because these people are predators. They are abusers." [1]
