The Catholic League has launched a campaign to bring public scorn on a University of Minnesota-Morris teacher who threatened to treat a consecrated communion wafer, which Catholics believe becomes the body of Christ, "with profound disrespect and heinous cracker abuse."

To which the professor in question, Paul Zachary Myers, responded: "Scumbags."

The issue arose over an argument that didn't even involve Myers.

As WND reported, a student at the University of Central Florida reported getting death threats after he stole and later returned a wafer from a Catholic Mass in Orlando.

"As WND reported, a student at the University of Central Florida reported getting death threats after he stole and later returned a wafer from a Catholic Mass in Orlando."

It's stupid for WND or anybody else to repeat this kind of loose allegation. If the student received death threats, let him collect the documetation, take it to the police, demand an investigation, and --- if a perp is found --- press charges.

If not, it can be assumed that the student is just alleging death threats because it makes him look like a Persecuted Rebel Boy and Christians look like belligerent snots.

Just apply the "Cui bono?" test. I strongly suspect the student is doing a Tawana Brawley.

And as for the professor: what jaw-dropping imbecility.

Hey Drango,
Even though by your comments, your genes are from the shallow end of the gene pool, I don't mock you (aka moron).
So don't mock my beliefs.
Looks like your liberal nightgown is showing.

LOL

You think calling the Body of Christ a "frachin' cracker" is funny?
Remind me not to stand too close to you.

How about the abuse some priests do when they give it to
people that are for the planned murder of the most helpless?

I suggest you stick to your beliefs since you obviously don’t have a clue about mine and the Holy Eucharist.

And no, I’m not going to spend the rest of my day trying to educate you on the Holy Eucharist.

...Mmmmmm....pass the popcorn...?

“Mmmmmm....pass the popcorn...?”

None for me, thank you, I’m going to receive the Body of Christ in about an hour.

Would liberals feel the same if: Professor had blog ranting against blacks and showing nooses? It's only rope. Professor ranted against homosexuals and displayed burning rainbow flags? It's only fabric. Professor advocated taking pork into a mosque and called all muslims terrorists? It's only paper. With liberals, tolerance is a one-way street. You either agree with them, or are subject to thought crimes," wrote eloopd.

Though, I find the concept of Transubstantiation rather silly a notion, I respect their belief.

This is much to do about nothing, just another moonbat being a moonbat

Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one loaf, we, who are many, are one body, for we all partake of the one loaf. 1 Corinthians 10:16-17 (NIV)

Nothing in the Greek text that translates into bread actually turning into the Body of Christ I find no support for it in the Bible based on the actual Greek words

From PZ Myers, what do you expect? His blog's name, "Pharyngula", adequately describes his apparent mental stage. He has a hollow nerve cord (and probably a tail).

If the teacher and student want to impress us, they should pull an equivalent stunt at a mosque. Instead they attack one of the religions that are not in the habit of sawing off peoples heads.
