Pro-abortion activists threaten to burn the Eucharist to display 'disgust' towards Catholic Church

Can't they show their disgust towards the Catholic Church without doing that? There are plenty of things I don't like or don't agree with; I don't respond to them by burning things. These people just seem unhinged. Lord have mercy.

 

[Lost4words]

They are fueled by the devil

 

[Ignatius the Kiwi]

How many progressive Catholics, in order to show solidarity, would actually do this? Maybe it's time for Joe Biden and other progressive Catholics to take a stand with the left and repudiate their Church and it's teachings on sexual morality.

While I think that burning things in a way that doesn't endanger other people is a valid way of free speech, that only extends to your own property.

The eucharist is obviously the property of the catholic church, so this should be a no-go.

Now, if they only want to burn some pieces of bread looking like the eucharist, I don't see a problem, and I don't see why catholic people would, either.

Good question. Where is their treasure?

 

[Nithavela]

It's the body of Christ.

Will they really burn it after transsubstantiation?

How will they get a hold of it? Break into the church? Knock out the pastor and run?

As an usher at a Catholic church, I have seen people come up for communion, then put the Holy Host in their pocket and run out the door. Satan worshippers do that too.

Easiest way would be to get progressive Catholics or infiltrators to willingly burn the Eucharist once they receive it. I imagine there are some liberal clergy out there, who give the Eucharist to anyone who approaches.

Seems silly.

 

[Ignatius the Kiwi]

Seems silly.

What's silly about opposition to religion? To burn a consecrated host is the peak of insults one could do to the Catholic Church. People engage in these sorts of symbolic acts all the time against people or groups they disagree with.

Deleted.

It would be hard for a non-believer to understand. God's way is far above our way.

I don't think opposing religion is silly.

Just that dashing away with a piece of bread and setting it on fire seems a bit silly.

Except it's not just a piece of bread. It's the body and blood of Christ and to desecrate it is the height of opposition. There's nothing silly in that. Catholics, upon seeing that ought to be rightfully furious. They ought to oppose this with every ounce of spiritual fiber they can muster.

Spiritual concerns are not laughing matters or silly. They matter.

 

[Nithavela]

Except it's not just a piece of bread.

It is to the people doing it.

Pro-abortion activists threaten to burn the Eucharist to display 'disgust' towards Catholic Church

From the article/tweet:

"We will remain outraged after this weekend, so keep praying," they said. "We’ll be burning the Eucharist to show our disgust for the abuse Catholic Churches have condoned for centuries."

Where did the actual individual who tweeted state it had anything to do with abortion? I know the journalist said it did, where did the individual threatening burning say it was related to abortion?

The tweet author was responding to someone who is actually praying for the pro-choice protestors as she hopes they have a change of heart. I am not sure I see a correlation to the person tweeting being pro-choice, and I prefer to take her at her word, she will be protesting abuse in the Catholic church if she actually follows through.

 

[Ignatius the Kiwi]

It is to the people doing it.

Not to the Catholics and that's more important. If you are going to destroy someone's sacred symbols or rites then it's tantamount to declaring a war.

Catholics should be prepared to defend the body and blood of Christ from these people .

Considering they couldn't really mobilize anything but an invasion in LA, a blockade in NYC, and an arson in Wisconsin, I don't think they have much of a future. But this 'burning the Eucharist' is threatened sacrilege and veiled threatened arson. It might be that the Democratic machine couldn't actually close it's eyes to arson. We'll see.

We will also see if some of the fringe of the fringe will try arson. My bet is that we already have an arsonist cell in Wisconsin and we might see another two or three. But that's about it. This IS the REAL domestic terrorism.
