haunted bread

A Co Kerry priest has lodged a complaint with the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland over the “ridiculing of the Eucharist” on the Late Late Show.

Wonder if the same Priest has written to the Pope about money for abuse victims ?

How many masses do you have to attend to eat a full Jesus?

(Can't remember the origin of that...)

Even when I did consider myself a christian, I don't think I ever believed I was eating human flesh that had been magically created from a bit of dry wafer.

Non story.

I'm afraid the LLS can't be held responsible for what some twat with a plastic bag over his face says on live television.

It's factually correct though isn't it? The spirit of Jesus is supposed to be in that communion bread, so you are in fact, eating haunted bread.

So, you disagree with him? You believe it's magical bread? Or human flesh. Because, that is what Catholic Magic Man in the Sky Believers are supposed to believe.

Surprised it took 10 days for some wankbag to give out about that!
:pac:

He's just looking for a crumb of comfort.

I think it was Tubridys response that annoyed people.
When oh when o when will we hear any of RTEs top top stars insult the 100,000 Muslims in the country.

Very good.

It was a genuine question though. Do you or don't you believe that the priest on the alter magically converts the wafer thingy to Jesus's body? If you do, then it's basically haunted bread. And if it is true, why don't they send it to (say) Cern for analysis as I'd love to see what's happening at a subatomic level to the wafer.

Also, re the muslim thing. It's equally ridiculous, but they prefer not to insult as the inevitable resulting death threats probably aren't worth the hassle.

What I believe or don't believe is irrelevant. My point is that the supposed funnyman from Limerick set out to wilfully insult/provoke.

Who cares what some deluded half dead priest thinks? If he doesn't like what he see's on TV he can go do something else.

I disagree. He was describing what people actually believe. I mean, it's obviously daft - magically changing wafer into flesh? C'mon.

Look, I believe that an invisible and undetectable Flying Spaghetti Monster created the universe. But if anyone insults my views, I just laugh it off and cook some more pasta.

Anyway, seeing as himself died and then came back to life before turning into a ghost, isn't Ghost Zombie bead more accurate?

Someone somewhere complains about literally everything. Why is this a headline?

Wouldn't it be more surprising if not a single Christian person complained about someone ridiculing the most sacred part of their religion? That might be worthy of conversation. As it stands though is it not business as usual?

It's not the spirit of Jesus. It's the actual body and blood of Jesus....allegedly.

Google "Transubstantiation".

Utter nonsense of course but you wont hear too many Catholics discussing it or even acknowledging it.

The whole cult is a sham when you sit down and think about it...but very few do.

I'm sure the Rubberbandits will be quaking in their boots.

The Catholic church has just brought out a new low-fat Communion Wafer.

It's called 'I can't believe it's not Jesus'

You cook your deity? Interesting.

Hmmm, that would depend on whether Jesus is the classic living dead zombie with no signs of life, or whether when the eucharist is changed into human flesh that it's still living or at the least like a freshly cut piece of meat.

Can any Christians tell us how chewy/bloody their Jesus is when they have it at mass?

I was at a mass in Cork once and they had gluten free body-and-blood-of-Christ for all the coeliacs. I am not joking.

It's unleavened wafer, something like Jewish Matzah, and like eating a small coaster. You're not actually supposed to chew it, it dissolves quickly enough.

I am soo shocked and soo offended im going to have to go and have a lie down and maybe consider my WHOLE position re the ridiculousness of organised religion.
Thanks for the heads up ReefBreak!!
