If a man tried to snatch a woman's purse and she bit him, no one would care. But this woman can disrupt a religious service, attack a priest, and you find fault with him for defending himself?

[@theresarezac7502]

Ok, so the woman went to recieve Holy Communion and the priest told her she cannot receive (he must of had a good reason to say NO) so she GRABBED the Communion Host from him, scattering all the rest of the hosts onto the floor. She had the Host in her hand and would not let go of it! (She has audacity to call it a ‘cookie’). She is obviously NOT Catholic!! The priest knew and refused her. I don't blame him for biting her stupid arm- she was trying to steal something that didn't belong to her!

Even though I don't agree with the biting, Priest did what he have to do to protect the Eucharist. This lady first went mass in the morning and when priest was giving communion she did not offer her hand correctly and when priest said Body of Christ she did not say Amen so priest asked when was the last time you received communion she said long time ago then priest asked did you go to confession recently and she said you have no right to ask me that so then he denied her communion. Then she came again to noon mass and then priest asked did you go to confession between the masses and she again refused to answer. Then she tried take communion forcefully from the ciborium and tried desecrate the Eucharist so in that moment he had to what he did to protect the Eucharist. Again even though I don't agree with the biting, Priest did what he have to do to protect the Eucharist.

In Catholic communion, you get one wafer, you don't ask for repeats and given another one. What the woman says it's odd.

@@brt5273 And Jesus said 'What you do unto the least of these, you do unto me'.* Assuming the woman is mentally ill, she would fit into the category of 'the least of these' (the downtrodden, or in today's parlance, a marginalized group). So when he bit her, he was biting Christ. * That's actually my favorite Bible verse, and I mean no disrespect to Catholics. It is just such a a bizarre set of circumstances, it's hard not to comment.

"So Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you." Gospel of John 6:53. It's not a uniquely Catholic thing, most other self-identified Christians belong to churches that teach about its importance & some form of real presence of Jesus in Communion (Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Assyrian Church of the East, Anglicans, Lutherans, some Methodists)
