Maybe, but I have heard of this before.
FRPr, allow me to congratulate you on your Jimmy-Olson-like reportorial perspicacity. The Reverend Luis Barrios is a true and saintly man and well versed in Anglican liturgical practices. In fact, right after he blessed the little gangster, he rushed out to the Peachbottom Country to bless the hounds of the Pickering Creek Hunt Club, and was back in Staten Island in time for Evensong, despite his Bishop's (who is not gay) disapproval.
I do take serious issue with the parents of the new Blood-Drop. I usually start my children with a smaller caliber revolver, rather than the .45 Auto. A S&W .32 fits into a pre-schooler's little backpack a lot better than a 1911 Colt .45, or a Glock 9MM. Also the lesser recoil helps them place their shots, rather than conducting these wild tricycle drive-bys in which innocent bystanders can get capped, rather than rival gang members.
PS, Fr. Barrios also blesses pit bulls on St. Francis' Day.
