Paul Zachary Myers, a professor at the University of Minnesota Morris, has pledged to desecrate the Eucharist. He is responding to what happened recently at the University of Central Florida when a student walked out of Mass with the Host, holding it hostage for several days. Myers was angry at the Catholic League for criticizing the student. His post can be accessed from his faculty page on the universitys website.
Here is an excerpt of his July 8 post, Its a Frackin Cracker!:
Can anyone out there score me some consecrated communion wafers? Myers continued by saying, if any of you would be willing to do what it takes to get me some, or even one, and mail it to me, Ill show you sacrilege, gladly, and with much fanfare. I wont be tempted to hold it hostage (no, not even if I have a choice between returning the Eucharist and watching Bill Donohue kick the pope in the balls, which would apparently be a more humane act than desecrating a go*****ed cracker), but will instead treat it with profound disrespect and heinous cracker abuse, all photographed and presented here on the web.
Catholic League president Bill Donohue responded as follows:
The Myers blog can be accessed from the universitys website. The university has a policy statement on this issue which says that the Contents of all electronic pages must be consistent with University of Minnesota policies, local, state and federal laws. One of the schools policies, Code of Conduct, says that When dealing with others, faculty et al. must be respectful, fair and civil. Accordingly, we are contacting the President and the Board of Regents to see what they are going to do about this matter. Because the university is a state institution, we are also contacting the Minnesota legislature.
It is hard to think of anything more vile than to intentionally desecrate the Body of Christ. We look to those who have oversight responsibility to act quickly and decisively.
do you ever take a break? seriously.
That would make this sort of nonsense harder to carry out.
In addition, this is why we need to reinstate Porters in the Latin Church.
Oh, absolutely not. And he absolutely is a jackass.
I do not agree with catholic theology, but I would never condone such disrespect towards it. It's disgusting.
seriously. Give it a rest ZC.
Does fury and self-pity have shame?
Okay. My apologies insofar as I misstated your position.
So let me guess....the Pope issued a fatwa calling for this guy’s death and there was rioting and suicide bombings among Christians around the world?

As someone else mentioned, it's not all about you.
People like this will get more than they bargained for in attacking the Catholic Church.
It is the spirit that quickeneth: the flesh profiteth nothing. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.Have a blessed day!
As his kids wept he comforted them by saying "They told it would bleed. But look. It doesn't bleed. It doesn't bleed!"
The next day I took that book out into the backyard and burned it.
The comparison is inexact. This like someone removing a Torah from a synagogue without permission. IAC, this is an example of existential rage, I think. Reminding me of an incident at the chapel at Landstuhl Hospital in the early 70s. There was a little side chapel where the Blessed Sacrament was kept and where morning mass was said. An outside door was left open 24/7 for peoplein the hospital to came to pray. Well, someone came in and pulled the chalice out of the tabernacle and pissed in it. Thereafter the door had to be locked at the same time as the main door of the chapel.

I'm not sure I understand your point.
I like you too, Anna. :) You have a blessed day as well!
I’m quite sure his ego is invincible.
They are like the obsessed Captain Ahab, seeking to harpoon the Great White Whale.
I went to Catholic school from Kindergarten through the end of high school. I believe in evolution which was taught by the nuns.
Evolution is not the issue.
He is giving evolution a bad name. Evolution is taught in Catholic school.
The animus between the radical evolutionists and the radical creationists is strong, even poisonous.
