Earlier in the week a Priest conducting a mass was reported as demanding that a person consume the consecrated host in front of him. I was a bit confused about the article and the significence of the consuming ‘on site’ requirement In a letter in todays Australian,quoted in full below, all is explained. Apparently it is done to stop witches and satanists from getting a valid ‘host’ for their black masses. Yep! That’s what it says. Shades of Salem I find that a bit mind blowing. With all the problems main-stream religion is having they waste time combating ‘black masses’ when they should be combating ‘black hearts’ amongst their ranks. An unholy row If journalists are going to report on a priest demanding that a person consume a consecrated host at a mass (22/9), they should do some research first. What is sacrilegious is for someone to receive holy communion and to take it back to their seat unconsumed, or even to hold on to it after mass. Such a practice is rife among witches and satanists who frequent Catholic masses to get a valid host for their black masses. Whatever Fr Gerry Prindiville’s faults are if any, he acted rightly. I am disgusted with the behaviour of Sr Dominique and the lynch-mob against Fr Prindiville at St Vincents in Redfern, Sydney. Furthermore, Archbishop George Pell has just as good credentials in social justice as does the previous priest Fr Ted Kennedy. Fr Paul Stuart Carlton, Vic What a load of ‘nothingness’. Get real guys.
