In June 2008, the Catholic League issued a press release highly critical of Quinn for taking communion at the funeral mass for journalist Tim Russert. In an On Faith blog posting on the Washington Post website, Quinn -- who is not a Catholic -- wrote that she was "determined to take [communion] for Tim, transubstantiation notwithstanding" and that she "had a slightly nauseated sensation" after taking it. Catholic League president Bill Donohue responded that "Quinn's statement not only reeks of narcissism, it shows a profound disrespect for Catholics and the beliefs they hold dear."

It’s no secret that the left has complete contempt for Catholicism and Evangelical Christianity.

As a Catlick myself, I leave the question of taking communion up to an individual and possibly the clergy involved. But that being said, I’m disgusted someone would take that generosity of faith and comment on the taste of the host - the taste is not the point!
