This fool wants to “show you sacrilege, gladly, and with much fanfare.”
Minnesota professor encourages theft and desecration of Eucharist
A Minnesota professor and science blogger has said he will personally desecrate the Eucharist and publish photos of the desecration on the internet if any of his readers acquire a consecrated Host and mail it to him. “I’ll show you sacrilege, gladly, and with much fanfare,” he has written.Paul Zachary Myers, an associate professor of biology at the University of Minnesota at Morris, made the threat while commenting on a University of Central Florida incident in which a student senator stole and held hostage a consecrated Host from a June 29 Mass.
I wonder if he knows (or cares) that people have given their life in defense of the Eucharist; that there are so many of us today who would do the same. I wonder if he knows (or cares) that priests have risked everything and even given their lives in bringing the Eucharist to people under persecution. Or if he knows that our priests have made given to our Church their very lives so as to confect the Eucharist?
Does he really mean to dehumanize each of us who believes in th real presence?
Is he really willing to spit in the face of Christ?
As someone who has raised his hand as an enemy, we should pray for him.
O God, the Lord of all
your Son commanded us to love our enemies
and to pray for them.
Lead us from prejudice to truth;
deliver us from hatred, cruelty and revenge;
and enable us to stand before you,
reconciled through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
The prayer is taken from Catholic Household Blessings and Prayers
