A member of St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church tells what really happened in this video and why the Priest was in the right to do what he did!!
From the video:
"...secular news they said the police recommended that the father be charged with battery for biting this woman um I can tell you according to the police and I have friends in the police department uh no they think the church should actually Char uh they the woman should actually be charged for attempted robbery and I'll explain why..."
ALSO: "...he protected the Eucharist that's the duty of the priest and and she's seen pushing him so if anyone assaulted anyone it was her and in the State of Florida we have a stand your ground rule law so he's totally innocent you know any legality but I want to get to the moral issue here in a minute so..."
These are from the Transcripts of the show

If she was mentally ill, why would she have gone to Mass twice in the same day? That ups her “illness” to demonic possession. She did this the second time on purpose, because he turned her away without a scene at the first Mass. That’s more than mentally ill on her part. That’s possessed.
She should be charged.
Though as a Catholic Christian, I am praying for her soul, as I have been directed to do.
Possession makes no sense. Wanting to cause trouble and make some money and fame while she was at it fits in with human nature and far more likely. She’s an idiot and it doesn’t take supernatural motives to describe an idiot.
I agree she should be charged.
Here’s a video of the priest explaining to police what happened. He starts talking at 0:51.

In that video, the priest says she was pushing him, and he says he was “defending myself and defending the Sacrament.”
Below that video is the police report. That report quotes the priest as saying the woman “got upset and attacked him” and then the woman “pushed him and would not let go of the Communion tray and the only way he thought to extract her from it was to bite her arm.”
To that woman, it was a tray of “cookies.” To the Catholic Church, the Host is the body of Christ.
But, the priest also explained that he was defending himself.
If you don’t think so you may need to read the word again. I felt the universal crazy level go down a bit last week but will not feel settled untill this sun spot group is past.
So many signs in the sky.
People need to be nicer.
It never hurts to be ready.
That is not property. It is the body of Christ.
A moose once bit my sister. But no super natural phenomenon occurred.
“That is not property. It is the body of Christ.”
I am not Catholic. It’s just a wafer.
“But, the priest also explained that he was defending himself.”
The Diocese released a statement saying he bit her to make her let go of the tray.
The priest told police he was defending himself, too.
Meanwhile, in the metaphysical contrivance of RC Eucharistic theology (see before responding), the "Real Presence" only locally lasts/exists until the non-existent bread and or wine begins to manifest (appearance being critical) decay/corruption, at which point Christ is no longer locally present. Which relates to another problem, that of microscopic particles of the consecrated bread and wine, since these can end up in a vacuum cleaner, thus in this case i appearance becomes important in RC Eucharistic theology.
And of course, besides other distinctive Catholic teachings which are not manifest in the only wholly God-inspired, substantive, authoritative record of what the NT church believed (which is Scripture, in particular Acts through Revelation, which best shows how the NT church understood the gospels). nowhere interpretive of John 6 is the Lord's supper referred to as spiritual food, but the word of God is what is taught as being spiritual nourishment, being that which is called "milk" and "meat" (1Co. 3:2; Heb. 5:13; 1Pt. 2:2) by which believers are "nourished" (1Tim. 4:6) and built up, and with the preaching of which being the primary active function of pastors, whereby they "fed the flock." (Acts 20:28, 32)
What the Bible teaches is that the redeemed are those who have been spiritually born of the Spirit (Jn. 3:2-7) by effectual, penitent, heart-purifying, regenerating faith (Acts 10:43-47; Acts 15:7-9) in the Divine Son of God sent be the Father to be the Savior of the world, (1 Jn. 4:14) who saves sinners by His sinless shed blood, on His account , rendering them "accepted in the Beloved" (Eph. 1:6) - not deserved by any merit of themselves or any church.
For this faith is imputed for righteousness, (Romans 4:5) rendering one to be considered positionally righteousness, “justified” in God’s sight, and (as a result) this is shown in baptism and following the Lord, (Acts 2:38-47; Jn. 10:27, 28) whom they shall go to be with or His return (Phil 1:23; 2Cor. 5:8 [“we”]; Heb. 12:22, 23; 1Cor. 15:51ff'; 1Thess. 4:17) Glory and thanks be to God. In contrast to those who were never born of the Spirit or who terminally fall away. (Gal. 5:1-4; Heb. 3:12; Heb. 10:25-39)
The main difference on this versus Catholicism is that the latter believes in salvation by actually becoming good enough (via the act itself of baptism, and then via sacramentally aided (normally) attainment and - for most, Purgatory. to actually be with/see God in Heaven.
Theft?
Are we not told to share Christ with everyone?
yeah... six of ‘em!
This has the potential to yank attention away from the Trump Trials.
Matthew 26:53
Don’t you know that I could call on my Father for help, and at once he would send me more than twelve armies of angels?
Two bodies at one time.
Cool!
Perhaps, but Psychic Dyke rolls off the tongue easier.
