Catholic League President says student took the Body of Christ hostage

Let me clarify something said in the first paragraph that is not correct. For Catholics it is not a wafer “representing” the body of Christ for Catholics it is the “Body of Christ” having said that read what the Catholic League president said.

He said the student took the Body of Christ hostage. If your going to claim a wafer is the Body of Jesus Christ and that Jesus Christ can be taken hostage you are wackier than the student.

I think you also may like to read a follow-up article on a professor’s response to this.

Death threats for stealing ‘Body of Christ’

A student at the University of Central Florida says he’s now getting death threats after he stole and later returned a wafer representing the “Body of Christ” from a Catholic Mass in Orlando.

Catholic League president Bill Donohue commented on the case, stating:

“For a student to disrupt Mass by taking the Body of Christ hostage – regardless of the alleged nature of his grievance – is beyond hate speech. That is why the UCF administration needs to act swiftly and decisively in seeing that justice is done. All options should be on the table, including expulsion.”
