Dear verga,

Your apologies noted and accepted.

;-)

More seriously, though, the reporting on this event has been atrocious. Sensationalistic in the extreme, with heavy bias against all the usual suspects. Reactions have ranged from irrational to positively insane.

That said, it's still a terrible thing that these “students” are doing. It's clearly not at the same level if they were to plan to use a consecrated host, that would be infinitely worse, but it's still pretty damned ugly stuff.

I gotta say, though, the folks on the ground are acting in an exemplary manner. When the Catholic students discovered this, they first endeavored to clarify what exactly was to take place (they, too, at first, believed this would be a real “black mass,” but soon discerned that wasn't the case), they met and talked to each other, they talked to their chaplains, and all together developed a consensus to meet this terrible thing with prayer.

I know that even my son's non-Catholic student friends are in sympathy with us, and view this event by the night school students with opprobrium. Of course, students of the College seldom need more than a nudge to think ill of the night school students, LOL.

Where has this been reported?

I could not sleep last night so I perused everything back to May 7th here on FR. everything I read said they intended to use a consecrated host. There were two comments that said they were not planning on using one. One comment was from you yesterday and one from another Freeper on the 9th. Even the article you posted said they intended to use one.

Do you have a link to a reliable source? I am not saying you are wrong, but I want to see it for myself.
