Sadly, we are playing into this man’s twenty minute bid for fame by talking it to death! Pray, pray, pray without ceasing! My only solace is that I know there are religious persons EVERYWHERE who on their knees before the Blessed Sacrament in prayer for this man and this situation! I also take solace in knowing that our Lord is working it all out for good, no matter what it looks like with the physical eye. I am also praying for those who are consumed with hatred, anger, and the desire to do physical harm. Do we really think we will be spared the agony of seeing our Lord persecuted and tortured just because we live 2,000 years in the future? We always talk about joining with Christ in His agony and suffering and I think this is what is happening right now in every Catholic Christian’s heart! We must lay our feelings of helplessness, shock, and abject sorrow over what is happening to our Lord at the foot of His cross! We must don spiritual sackcloths and throw ashes over our heads and intercede with all our hearts and souls. And we need to repent of all the times we have partaken of the Blessed Sacrament without understanding the true presence of Christ ourselves. If we truly understood it, we would enter the sanctuary on our knees and humble ourselves on our faces before the Lord God the entire time we are in His presense. We must live our faith out loud! Amen.

myers wants to be a powerful man, like pontius pilot, he can desecrate and destroy as much as he can the Holy Eucharist, just like what they did to Christ in his Passion, but he will lose his soul at the end. We will pray for those who have never known Love and Mercy.

Here is a comment posted by a priest in a discussion with atheists and at Mark Shea’s blog.

It’s well worth reading.

Sillyfuzz – Why would not liking someone’s tactics be called emotional bias? Mr. Donahue and his Catholic League are disliked by many Catholics who, like me, find that he makes many situations worse and does not represent all Catholics by the tactics he uses in his attacks.

Hi sillyfuzz,

How do you access Myers’ blog from the university website? Would you mind sending the link? I found his e-mail addy and phone number, but not his site.

Thanks

mom_to_seven, Mr. Donahue did not state that Myers’ blog was posted on the University’s website, but rather can be accessed, “The Myers blog can be accessed from the university’s website.” It very irresponsible for any University to have links on their website without reviewing it. The average person will assume that any link on the University website will be consistent with the principles and values of the University. I believe you are letting your emotional bias against Bill Donahue and the Catholic League blur your thinking.

Many Catholics don’t understand about the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. And if Catholics don’t understand it, how can we expect Protestants to understand about it? This is a “teachable moment” for many, and also a good time to pray that we can be peaceful as we explain why this is important to Catholics.

Prof. Myers is an equal-opportunity desecrator http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2007/07/desecration_its_a_fun_hobby.php, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. He’s enjoying all this uproar. I think Donohue should have prayed for the soul of this bitter man and left it at that. He has bigger battles to fight, opportunities to really defend Catholicism from true bigotry.

For the record, here is a link to the story that appeared in the Minneapolis *Star Tribune* regarding this incident. If the comments left by some of the paper’s readers is any indication, Catholic sentiment is not getting a whole lot of sympathy. A lot of “OK, get over it” kind of responses.

That’s the MSM for you.

Just like they want to to portray abortionists as risking their lives because of all the pro-lifers threatening them, when any objective analysis shows that the pro-lifers are much more often the targets of violence.
