Bitter, Crude, and Pathetic Man



These guys, where do they come from?
Paul Zachary Myers, a professor at the University of Minnesota Morris, has pledged to desecrate the Eucharist. He is responding to what happened recently at the University of Central Florida when a student walked out of Mass with the Host, holding it hostage for several days. Myers was angry at the Catholic League for criticizing the student. His post can be accessed from his faculty page on the university’s website.

Here is an excerpt of his July 8 post, “It’s a Frackin’ Cracker!”:

“Can anyone out there score me some consecrated communion wafers?” Myers continued by saying, “if any of you would be willing to do what it takes to get me some, or even one, and mail it to me, I’ll show you sacrilege, gladly, and with much fanfare....
I'm tempted to pull a DJ doughnut on him. Remember that? Two sets of morning DJ's were caught up in a long running feud. So one morning a girl in a bikini shows up at one of the stations with a dozen-doughnut "peace offering" from the feuding rivals. So they eat them on the air, cracking wise the whole time. But the next day a picture arrives showing the girl and the other two DJ's, naked, holding some of the doughnuts.... only not with their hands.

I say tempted, but I wouldn't want to be a part of his project, and, well also, he may not end up eating the (unconsecrated) cracker when he was done. I'm also tempted to photoshop him into a Koran desecration, to point out that he is only brave and bold in offending those who are instructed to forgive him.

It would be fun to send him a wafer though. They really are just crackers until they've been consecrated, and how would he know if it had been consecrated? He'd have to take it on faith.
