If you want some background on this, it's about a university professor in Minnesota who, instead of eating the wafer given to him in communion, pocketed it and then "desecrated'" it on his blog (pierced it with a rusty nail and then threw it in the trash, along with a koran). Catholics are hugely offended because apparently Jesus was in that wafer, and they're calling for the professor to be fired.

QuoteProfessor Myers,

I was saddened to hear of your plans to harm our Lord Jesus Christ.

It obviously isn't the first time and it won't be the last.

I know you do not believe, but what if it truly is Jesus that you are attempting to hurt?

You are in my prayers.


Voodoo Jesus doll anyone???

He should have made a canapé out of it.  And nice use of the Monty Python "gumby" icon for all the protesting quotes in the article.

When I give my dogs their dog treats, I often pretend I'm a catholic preacher, saying "body of Christ" and giving them the dog treats while they kneel before me.

Holy shit, that's funny.


Transubstantiation is one of the big sticking points between Catholics and Protestants.
