    So do people actually believe that the same priests that molest children suddenly make some wheat have supernatural properties to say things like this?

    Gonzalez said intentionally abusing the Eucharist is classified as a mortal sin in the Catholic church, the most severe possible. If it's not returned, the community of faith will have to ask for forgiveness.

    "We have to make acts of reparation," Gonzalez said. "The whole community is going to turn to prayer. We'll ask the Lord for pardon, forgiveness, peace, not only for the whole community affected by it, but also for [Cook], we offer prayers for him as well."

  • NoGodsNoMasters, on 07/09/2008, -0/+2Religion - always adding irrational meaning and intent where there is none.
  • GlassAgate, on 11/23/2008, -0/+1So, if I were to say that the booze given to children at church
    was part of a plot to get them drunk, so that the priests could
    molest them, would that piss off the radical Catholics?
  • springboks, on 07/28/2008, -0/+1Sounds reminiscent of those Muslims who started riots over the bear named Muhammed and the Muhammed cartoons.
  • RobotBuddha, on 07/13/2008, -0/+1I thought the same thing, it does read like something from the onion! I found out about this from another blog post, and thought it was in fact parody until I saw the actual Myers piece. Now people are in an uproar about him calling it a cracker! What year are we living in!
