During a August 28 Eucharist in Londrina Cathedral, Brazil, the local archbishop, Geremias Steinmetz, 58, Brazil, handed Communion to Sheikh Ahmad Saleh Mahairi, founder of Londrina's Rei Faiçal mosque.
Media reported that Mahairi didn’t consume the host. In an August 30 note, Steinmetz justified (sic!) his action by absurdly referring to quotes from Francis that the Last Supper was undeserved.
A first communicant knows that an unbaptised person cannot be admitted to other sacraments. It is inexplicable how Benedict XVI could make Steinmetz a bishop in 2011, who has no clue about the faith he is supposed to represent and protect.

Subsequent to the disastrous Vatican II all things Catholic changed dramatically. Pimps, whores, crooked politicians (eg: Biden, Pilousy) haters of the traditional church founded by Jesus Christ, abortionists, all felt deserving of acting Piously (sic) and waddling up to sacrilegiously receive the Body of Christ.
Hopefully all will change once the populace is weaned from corrupted evil big government. Once the nazis are shown their place in a new and Godly America things will change.
Unfortunately, it won’t happen in my lifetime. I’m 87 and suffering from an illness that began after the two edicted Chinese-Biden disease injections.
At least the muslim knew better!!!
From blasting Jesus as “mean, lacks compassion, and rigid,” to stating He was just a man until He was resurrected among other blasphemies, how can they even pretend they believe.
Dismissing the martyrdom of the Saints who fought against sodomidical infiltration and practice in the church, or were killed for defying a King's lust (St. Thomas Moore), or martyred for believing chastity and purity were paramount, is foremost a sign of rebellion in the church hierarchy.
He didn’t consume THE HOST! That is Considered SATANIC,

Brazilian Archbishop Attacked for Leading ‘Leftist Infiltration’ of Church

SÃO PAULO, Brazil - An archbishop in Brazil has been accused of abetting “a leftist infiltration” of the Church in a letter to the Vatican ambassador sent by a group of professional and employer associations from the city of Londrina.
The letter was published July 2 and is signed by trade associations that represent building companies, metal industries, growers, retailers and professional associations of physicians and engineers. The document, which contains fierce criticism of Archbishop Geremias Steinmetz, is addressed to Archbishop Giovanni D’Aniello, who has served as apostolic nuncio to Brazil since 2012.
In the document, the associations praise the virtues of Steinmetz’s predecessors and then accuse the archbishop of “allowing the [center-left] Workers’ Party to instrumentalize the structure of our Church.”
The Workers’ Party (PT, in Portuguese) ruled Brazil from 2003 - when Luís Inácio Lula da Silva became president - to 2016, when then-President Dilma Rousseff was impeached. Since then, the country has seen growing political polarization, further complicated with the election of arch-conservative President Jair Bolsonaro in 2018.
“In almost every manifestation and public document of the archdiocese, it is possible to notice the influence of the leftist and socialist thesis advocated by that party (which are, it must be said, contrary to the Social Doctrine of the Church),” reads the associations’ letter.
“In several parishes, the publicizing of half-truths and ancient lies has been allowed, such as the identification between socialism and Christianity; the Marxist class struggle, that opposes rich and poor; the ill-fated Liberation Theology (strongly condemned by Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI); and the ideologization of the Church (strongly condemned by Pope Francis),” the document continues. . .
