I will not budge a inch on this. The bottom line is that this individual is full of hate for Catholics and our Orthodox brothers and sisters as we both believe in the real presence in the Eucharist. Yes, we should pray for him but I do not think we should sit passively on our bums and not do anything. It seems that today the excuse of "free speech" is an excuse to let anyone smear, defame, or attack others.

I have my doubts that the founding fathers of this country thought that it was OK for anything goes regarding speech. I have a feeling it was aimed at the idea that one could not be penalized for his political or religious views. To take a whole group of people and traumatize them the way he has seems to me to be unlawful.

It is unjust and lawful.

Слава Ісусу Христу!

If Islam can terrorize others into not defaming the name of Allah or Mohamed, why can’t we? Besides when we are told to turn the other cheek, which cheek is it?

Maybe I'm just a big Polly Anna, but who knows? Maybe coming face to face with Christ's presence will touch this person's heart. I watched a video this guy posted explaining why he is doing this, and his demeanor strikes me as someone carrying around a lot of anger...like someone who has been sexually abused as a child. "Saul Saul, why do persecute me..." remeber how that story ended?

I wish there was some way to ID the church he is stealing hosts from to warn them...but something about him makes me think he is in Holland or Germany.
