Catholics: Sticking it to pagans since 33 A.D.
Flex your muscles men:
Florida: A Connecticut man was arrested in Jensen Beach Saturday after going up to a priest and taking a handful of his wafers as communion was being given at St. Martin de Porres Catholic Church.
Six or seven parishioners became offended at the incident and cornered John Samuel Ricci, 33, and pinned him down until authorities got there. The Martin County Jail is now holding him on $2,000 bond.
The scuffle ended up injuring two of the attending parishioners, one aged 61 and the other 82. Two counts of simple battery are being laid against Ricci, as well as theft and disruption of a religious assembly. Source
*ignores the use of the word “wafer”*
If the man was mentally ill than the event is understandable, however anyone want to take bets he was a professor at some university?

I really believe it was either a professor or the guy on youtube who said he wanted to destroy the Holy Communion. BAsically he want’ed to do the same thing as the other videos that were removed from youtube.

I guess it had to be since the article says they were being distributed. Besides, what else would make elderly men go berzerk and tackle somebody? LOL.
