Father Fábio de Melo complains about social networking attacks: ‘I’m a step of giving up’

Involved in a controversy for allegedly causing the resignation of a store manager, Fábio de Melo vented on social networks on Tuesday (20).

The priest, who has 26 million followers on Instagram, said he has been the victim of hatred attacks resulting from “political polarization”. He said he is considering giving up being an influencer and that the “virtual world is a devil’s trap.”

According to the priest, the attacks “are orchestrated” by “those who were not pleased to not have us on the stands.”

“I always chose not to be in any of them. So I am attacked by both sides,” he wrote in a “Story”, accompanied by the song “Soul Sad”.

“No one saw my vote, but swear they know what my political position is,” he added.

Since the incident with the manager of the Dulce de Leite store, the priest has been ridiculed on social networks and accused of not respecting celibacy.

“Virtual hatred manifests itself in the worst way: lying, slanderous, blaspheming against the sacred of our choices, achieving people we love,” he wrote.

“It’s so disproportionate as it is established between what really happened and the attack we have come to the conclusion that people don’t want the truth. They just want the better version that adapts to their need to hate it,” he continued.

“I don’t know how you have survived the new versions of war. I’m a step to giving up. We’re under the most assertive trap the devil created: the virtual world,” he concluded.
