"A Minnesota professor and science blogger has said he will personally desecrate the Eucharist and publish photos of the desecration on the internet if any of his readers acquire a consecrated Host and mail it to him. “I’ll show you sacrilege, gladly, and with much fanfare,” he has written.
"Paul Zachary Myers, an associate professor of biology at the University of Minnesota at Morris, made the threat while commenting on a University of Central Florida incident in which a student senator stole and held hostage a consecrated Host from a June 29 Mass."
"Minnesota professor encourages theft and desecration of Eucharist"
I am reminded of the words of Pope Paul VI, of blessed memory: "If you knew what the Mass really is, you would die for it."
Alice's comment, below, is very well taken, and I should have said the same thing initially. Indeed, let us all pray for Myers and all who are like him. Let us also persevere in repentance, as called for in the following from an RC priest:
"A Priest's perspective on desecrating the Eucharist..."
"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." II Chronicles 7:14 (KJV)
"...the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God..." I Peter 4:17a (RSV)

Paul Myers needs our prayers. May the Blood of Jesus bring him to repentance that he might sing a song of praise to his Redeemer!
