Why did the priest killed Mr Jones instead of reporting him to police for his crimes?
shareI don't know about the capital punishment laws wherever the movie is set, but I guess he thought he just deserved to die and not have any chance of killing another child
shareCatholic priests have a sworn oath to secrecy for the confession of sins. Since the priest could not report the horrendous confession and keep his priesthood, he decided to take out the pedophile himself.

He figured giving Jones 10 Hail Marys and 10 Our Fathers for penance from the confessional just wouldn't work.🐭
