Anti-Christian Violence in India

David — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 21:32:50 +0000

Sadly, there has been an upsurge in violence against Catholics and other Christians in India, a country often associated with religious tolerance, rather than religious persecution. Catholic Online has a petition for support of Catholics in India: http://www.catholic.org/catholicaction/india/.

Please pray for all Christians in India, that they may be free from persecution, and that they may spread the Gospel of Christ freely.

Attempted Desecration of Eucharist in Florida

David — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 22:18:27 +0000

A 33-year old man in Jensen Beach, Florida attempted to steal consecrated Hosts from a parish church during Communion, assaulting a priest and several parishioners in the process.

It is assumed by some that he intended to use the Hosts for some diabolical purpose; perhaps a Black Mass or something like that. It should be noted that such a crime, if committed by a Catholic, incurs automatic excommunication that can only be lifted by the Pope himself (or presumably, a delegate). Deliberate desecration of the Eucharist is the most serious crime in canon law, as it is an attempted assault on Jesus Christ Himself.
