A petition against the campaign stated, ‘They’re mocking the Eucharist and the death of Christ in the most sacred time for Christians.’
MADRID (LifeSiteNews) – The Burger King fast-food chain has apologized to Spanish Catholics following a blasphemous Holy Week ad campaign that mocked Christ’s words at the Last Supper.
“Take and eat all of it (Tomad y comed todos de él). It’s meat-free,” stated one of the two advertisements included in the controversial Holy Week campaign. They were meant to promote Burger King’s new range of vegetarian options, hoping to appeal particularly to Catholics who do not eat meat on Good Friday.
The words used in the ad were a direct reference to Christ’s words at the Last Supper: “Take and eat, all, of it (Tomad y comed todos de él), for this is my body.”
These words are considered particularly sacred by Catholics as they are also used by priests during the Consecration, the part of Mass during which the bread and wine present on the altar are substantially changed into the body and blood of Christ. “Tomad y comed todos de él ” are the exact words used in the Spanish-language translation of the Latin Rite Mass.
Another advertisement exploited the biblical phrase “flesh of my flesh,” found in Genesis 2:23, ostentatiously crossing out the word “flesh” to replace it with “vegetable.” The original is part of Adam’s expression of joy at first meeting Eve.
The campaign triggered an uproar on social media, with many Catholics denouncing the two ads as blasphemous and calling for a boycott of the fast-food chain, using the hashtag #boicottBurgerKing.

I’ve noticed these moron libtard advertising people never make fun of rag heads or mo 🤪
They want to avoid Molotov cocktails.
Sure, twist the words of Christ and Adam to promote vegetarianism. What could possibly go wrong?
BK's focus group members should be taken out back and shot. Partly because it's monumentally offensive, and mostly because it's stupid beyond all comprehension.
Not to mention having to look over their shoulder and sleep with one eye open for the rest of their lives.
I don’t remember reading in the gospels about Jesus feeding the multitudes with veggie burgers and avocados. LOL
They don’t have the balls.
Yep.
You must have missed the part about Him serving "I Can't Believe It's Not Fish!".
A lot of people had to see and approve of that Ad before it went on the air. Scriptwriters, Editors, Cameramen, Accountants, Actors, etc.
Maybe anyone who objected kept kept quiet over fear of losing their jobs. Sometimes, though, you have to speak up anyway.
I’ve done it before. Sometimes it worked, other times I lost work because I spoke up about something that was very wrong. I don’t regret speaking up. You find out who your real friends are or aren’t.
whatever woker-king- i quit your lousy restaurants when y7ou introduced your gay burgers
And beheadings.
They have proved they are liars..No peaceful muslims or they would go after their religion jus like they do the catholics and jews....
Sounds like a good idea, an ad with a parody of the words from the mass in Spain. What could go wrong?
#boicottBurgerKing Was trending on Twitter.
So, now they can’t say ‘boycott’ ?
boicott is the Spanish spelling.
Oh, wow, I looked it up and they have gay sandwiches. I would never have believed that sort of thing could happen.
Their food has always been awful, worse than McDonalds.
Ahh ok thx
