Regarding the Assissi event, the Buddha statue and the Tabernacle:
Buddhists were allowed to use a church for prayer (an imprudent decision IMHO!!!). As is their custom, they placed a small statue of Buddha in a prominent place. The most prominent place was the tabernacle. They may have even believed it was for such a purpose. As soon as Catholic hosts (NOT the Holy Father himself) discovered the gaffe, they explained to the Buddhists that this was offensive. The Buddhists gladly moved the statue.
So a minor mistake has somehow been ginned up into the Pope's desecration of the Eucharist.
Pathetic.
The Holy Father did not even know about the incident at the time.
Those who make these types of assertions cannot be trusted in any other claims.
