Professor and accomplice steal Host from London
Knowing full well that this post will bring the usual cadre of bigoted and hateful wingnuts back out of the woodwork, it still remains that such a heinous act as this needs to be brought to light and named for the evil that it is.
The Minnesota professor has purportedly been sent his consecrated host by someone from London. It was allegedly taken from the London Oratory (singlehandedly my favorite church in London....I used to travel all the way across town by various buses and then have to walk some more just to get there, as it was the only one I could find where things were done right....sad to say but true).
The priests there have called on everyone to make personal acts of reparation and have already started having public evenings of reparation and adoration to the Blessed Sacrament.
A young man stole the Host July 13th at a High Mass and posted a video where he showed it held "hostage" with a condom to protest the Church's stance on condoms in Africa. When he was good and done with it he then sent it to Myers who stabbed it with a rusty nail and then tossed it into the garbage.
The London Oratory (also called St. Mary's or the Brompton Oratory) has started asking parishioners to receive on the tongue and have been using the communion plates of late.
MAYBE PEOPLE WILL NOW WAKE UP AND SEE THE BENEFIT OF SUCH THINGS ONCE MORE --- AS THIS GOES ON ALL THE TIME! we just don't usually hear about it so publicly.
here's the article from Britain's Catholic Herald:

by the way, here is Professor Paul Z Myers' post on his blog of the desecration:

and the video of the guy stealing it in London:

look - if you feel you need to write him, don't make an fool out of yourself or the rest of us --- be respectful, otherwise you're just like him.
you can also scroll down this page for the July 11th post regarding this issue to get the university president's email.
Once again - if you can't write a comprehensible, well-reasoned letter to them either, then don't write. Letting folks like this work you up into a lather is half the fun for them. Just say some prayers for them if nothing else. They clearly don't know what they're doing.

What an a-hole. But your admonition - "[I]f you feel you need to write him, don't make an fool out of yourself or the rest of us --- be respectful, otherwise you're just like him" - hits the nail in the head.
Serious members of academia would never execute or remotely involve themselves with this type of irrational act. This here is a poor professor with a lot of time on his hands.
yes, you're right.
it is a shame that others in academia do not take him to task for his volatile pot-stirring diatribes and abuse of position but I suspect that they are, in fact, too busy doing their jobs to notice what he's about.
we'll have to wait for more of his students and fans to rant about it here.
plainly they are happy to make the time to do such things....
still curious why this hasn't been investigated by curious parties in regards to its ability to be prosecuted as a hate crime or harassment on the Church at large.
or theft?
it isn't a matter of free speech....they are coming onto private property and STEALING.
I heard about this in Church today and was absolutely appalled. How anyone treat the Holy Eucharist like that? It just makes me feel sick inside.
