Second week in a row that we have not been able to us the Holy Water at our parish.
Whoever issued the threat is going to find themselves in for some serious jail time.

More “tolerance” from the Gay Bolsheviks, no doubt.

I went to Mass last night in Haddon Heights and didn’t notice any changes in the HW bowl.

They can’t be too hard core, or they would have done it without warning!

Sounds like a hate crime to me. Oh, wait a minute, normal people can’t be victims of hate crimes—only the perverted and racists of color can be victims.

Our monsignor mentioned the threat to us last week, but to be honest with you I did not even notice any newspaper articles until I looked it up after Mass today.
I do know that our bishop is in the process of consolidate the parishes in our diocese. I would hope that this would not be a factor but anything is possible.

Just publicizing the threat causes inconvenience and expense to the victims ,much like unfounded criminal accusations or the Democratic activists claims of ethics violations against Palin.
Anyone care to estimate how much productivity has been lost in the West because resources have been diverted to security measures,post 9/11? How many million man hour spent standing in lines to have your nail files taken and your feet inspected?

Our priest says they are trying to sort out some way that we can use the Holy Water without worry of it being tampered with.
At least they have a clue in that the letter was sent from Belmar.
Weird thing is, (and I think it is why our parish particularly is not offering Holy Water) our parish priest has been assigned to a church in Belmar.
He is a wonderful priest from Malta, strong in faith and gives the best homilies I have ever heard.

There’s a place a LOT worse than jail waiting for this guy. (Unless of course he repents)

The diocese received an anonymous letter last week threatening to put biological contaminants in Catholic churches in New Jersey, said Andrew Walton, a spokesman for the diocese. The letter, which was mailed May 1 and has a Bellmawr postmark, was received in the Camden office May 4 and opened May 5. Ping to read later

More tolerance from the Gay Bolsheviks, no doubt. That was my first thought.

Do you really think the Jesuits would be so bold?

How do we know it was not Notre Dame’s president who issued the threat on Holy Water? It seems right up his ally to show hatred toward church doctrine.

I wonder to what extent anti-Catholic films such as “Angels and Demons” encourage threats of this sort.
To: Iscool
The threat was also to the ventilation systems of the churches.
There are cases where people attempted to poison holy men to no affect. I guess the diocese could not take the threat without precautions.Can you image if they had done something and the people had not been warned?

There's of course the incident of St. John the Divine and the poisoned cup.
Mark 16:18.
But of course also, Luke 4:12.
