It started with a student holding the body of Christ hostage:
Then University Of Minnesota biologist P.Z. Myers let his feelings on the story be known on his personal blog in the way that he does in a post entitled IT'S A FRACKIN’ CRACKER!. Then the Catholic League's Bill Donohue called for Myers' head in the way that he does. Myers included the text of the resulting hate mail in a separate post. Somewhere in this, the Catholic League claims a Republican delegate asked for additional security at the Republican National Convention in Minnesota to protect Catholics.
As a lapsed Catholic, I find all this happening over a semi-tasty piece of unleavened bread especially crazy. Maybe it'd be justified for a well-cooked piece of Kobe beef. You know, the Japanese cows that get massages and fed organic grain and beer and their meat costs $300 a pound? Those spoiled bovine deserve to be killed and eaten. I think that's the main point of this post.

| A UCF student claims he’s getting death threats for messing with something sacred. Webster Cook says he smuggled a Eucharist, a small bread wafer that to Catholics symbolic of the Body of Christ after a priest blesses it, out of mass, didn’t eat it as he was supposed to do, but instead walked with it. Catholics worldwide became furious. Webster’s friend, who didn’t want to show his face, said he took the Eucharist, to show him what it meant to Catholics. Webster gave the wafer back, but the Catholic League, a national watchdog organization for Catholic rights claims that is not enough. “We don’t know 100% what Mr. Cooks motivation was,” said Susan Fani a spokesperson with the local Catholic diocese. “However, if anything were to qualify as a hate crime, to us this seems like this might be it.” |
