There is nothing to be gained from defiling a symbol. They recognize the truth of the Catholic faith and the real presence, they just don’t like it.

I don’t think many take them that seriously...their rites and performances are intended to simply get peoples pants in a knot....which it does appear is working.

Better just to hand them over to God to deal with and move on...the less attention they get, which is what this is about, the less these will take place.

Symbols are only that..reflecting something of meaning to those who choose to value them as so. These are not significant to everyone...especially to those who honor nothing about God.

“Do you believe some mortal human being could actually desecrate God? I am sure you know they can’t.”

When the Roman soldiers mocked and spit upon Christ in the flesh surely he was being desecrated - so how is it that we know He can’t be desecrated???

Ad Majoram Dei Gloriam

So why don’t the satanists just go after some grape juice and crackers which are passed out at some protestant services?

Why do they take the time and effort to specifically target and steal a consecrated host from a Catholic or Orthodox Mass?

If it is just a symbol as you claim - why do they go through all the trouble???

After all the consecrated Host is just a symbol....

For the Greater Glory of God

They do so because the Catholic church affords them the press they desire....makes them feel significant as if what they do makes any difference. Further the Catholic church sees it’s “church” as significant as salvation, in some cases some believe you have to be part of for salvation. That is well known so of course they’ll pick the one that affords them the greatest response they seek...and notoriety.

The real ‘enemy’ here is Harvard for allowing such a thing. As if this “stuff” happens at the mainline Universities it’s usually trumped in others and generally far worse. We may as well considered our Universities fully lost to the liberal agenda in every way.

Heck Europe is allowing Nazi’s to run for Parlimentary positions in the EU, announced today......the world is catering to the dark side so it should not be surprising we will see it increase more and more.

It’s no trouble for them to get Catholics pants in a knot...they enjoy it. And Catholics are an easy target with all their churches and their afiliations interconnected.

Same with why people go to the biggest banks....feeds the egos of those who can say they go there. Big time robbers hit the big banks.

And all the millions of black masses that have been said thru the ages were all done just to get under the skin of egoist Catholics???

Whew it’s a good thing that the black mass isn’t done to honor satan, but just to get under the skin of them Catholics...

For the Greater a Glory of God

That’s not what I meant at all....but not surprised you went into ‘the mode’ we so often see from Catholics here.

Do you really think satan gives any thought to these people? They are already in his sphere....his target are those who are now getting their pants into a knot...and certainly is accomplishing that......and you just proved my point.

Remembrance is what we are to do..

No, we are to do in remembrance..

What is it we are to do?

every time we eat bread.

Really? This is your interpretation of: "..this is my body which will be given up for you.. this is the chalice of my blood.."

And from John 6:

"Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

From this you get something like "remember me when you eat bread"?

Nonsensical interpretation.

No sir, you did NOT post scripture to me, you made a comment, you stated an OPINION. I very clearly stated I don’t care what YOU think. You need to find someone else to irritate because I’m not interested in bantering with an idiot who likes to stir up trouble.

Maybe that is not what you meant, but it is exactly what you conveyed in your post.

editor seeing as you didn’t post scripture, Here is one that is appropriate for the situation: Matthew 16:23

I am an usher in my Catholic Church, and ever since some Satanists out in Chicago were trying to get their hands on a consecrated host, we are on high alert for this.

I could give you 12 reasons why...

That would be a great philosophical and theological discussion, if it could be kept civil.

Mark 7:26-27
 26.  The woman was a Greek, born in Syrian Phoenicia. She begged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.
 27.  "First let the children eat all they want," he told her, "for it is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to their dogs."

What does it mean that Satanists believe in the Real Presence, but other Christians don’t?

What does it mean that Satanists believe in Magical Qualities, but Biblical Christians don’t?

No need to be confused. Satan knows very well who Christ is and also knows very well His presence in the Eucharist.

Sure he does!
