YouTube, the universally recognized forum for videos of all types, now has videos that make it a stage for acts of blasphemy. The American TFP and its America Needs Fatima campaign are protesting these videos showing desecration of hosts online.
The videos in question involve an individual who has put up forty videos on YouTube showing Consecrated Hosts being stepped on, burned,

FYI
Are these hosts being desecrated with DOS or backdoor hacking?
Do they know anything about the guilty party? Is he a Marxist? Atheist? Member of another religion?
This vermin doesn't deserve my recognition, nor any church's either. Though he probably won't get it from me, the Lord will forgive him if he asks. Not likely, but still possible.
Now, this was supposed to be a series post. And many will not even get it.
That said, I see why Catholics would find these videos highly offensive. Youtube should be consistent with its own policy regarding offensive material and pull them.
I see no evidence that these are Consecrated Hosts. Where would this kid get 40 Hosts consecrated?
I watched part of one of the videos, and it is vile. Nevertheless, I suspect that he has been bluffing.
I think he is an atheist who was inspired by pz myers.
I could understand the outrage if the guy was burning or stepping on a Ritz, but these things probably aren’t even tasty.
A petition will do nothing. YouTube will ignore it.
We need to flag the video as the FR Smackdown list does with terrorist videos. Look here for the Smackdown thread

Steps for flagging videos (H/T to rawcatslyentist):
#1) If you don’t have a YouTube account, go sign up for one. You don’t have to use it for anything but this.
#2) Click one of the links below, let the video start and then click the pause button on the player so you don’t have to actually watch the propaganda.
#3) Below the video, click “Flag as inappropriate.”
#4) Choose “promotes hatred or violence”
#5) Where it says “please indicate the group attacked” choose Religion.
#6) Where it says “provide additional information.....” Put your comments in the box
StarCMC and her group have had tons of videos removed. Do it YouTubes way and you will see results.
What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Don’t go there; your ox will be gored next.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Next the Islamic Rage Boys will demand that YouTube pull anything that “blasphemes” (tells the truth) their so-called prophet.
Did this person steal Consecrated Hosts from a Catholic Church?
Maybe he just bought some from one of the many places that sell them, usually to churches of every stripe. I can go to the local “Bible Book Store” and pick up a box of unconsecrated hosts this afternoon for under $20.
Desecrating the holy is not looked upon lightly by people of faith. Why would Muslims get all fatwah-y over using the pages of the Koran as toilet wipes if they didn’t hold it sacred? Why would Jews get upset over Muslims peeing on the Torah housed in the Cave of the Patriarchs if they didn’t hold it sacred? Protestants get upset when their houses of worship are vandalized, when the walls of their churches are spray painted with graffiti, when arsonists torch their sacred places. In like manner, Catholics get very upset when consecrated hosts are misused.
This is not something that the perpetrator can say “just joking, it wasn’t a ‘real’ host” about any more than someone can say “it wasn’t a ‘real’ Koran or it wasn’t ‘real’ pee, etc.
The world has degraded itself to the point that there are very few things the world holds as sacred. We used to hold life sacred, but now . . . we’re about out of the “sacred” business.
“If we do not protect life, there is no reason to fight for any other cause.”
Who is calling for that?
Sent.
What a poor, hate-filled individual.
Done.
Signed and sent.
Desecrations of Consecrated Hosts are far worse than book burning for a librarian or flag burning for a patriot.
Image if God gave you His Personalized autograph. How valuable would His signature be? That's certainly not something you'd sell on E-Bay!
Jesus Christ said, “This is my body.” and He said, “This is my blood.” The value of His words are Eternal. All financial values are held in similar measure of mankind's word being its bond. Value of money is weighed positively or negatively as a reflection in trust of the money's printer and how that printer backs his currency.
But when the Son of Man states what IS, that bond is beyond Spiritual, it is Physical and the Existence of Life Itself!
Thus, the Apostolic see and act, in obedient remembrance, to place the Fruit of Life into our heart as Jesus Christ, Himself, commands. With dignity and reverence Jesus Christ gives Himself in this gift so as to always Be with us. Though He ascends to meet The Father, The Holy Spirit enables the Communion of God to remain with Mankind. We are not alone.
The disobedient act in the Garden of Eden is reversed as Jesus Christ has paid for our crimes by lovingly Sacrificing Himself in our stead. Before He gave Himself freely upon the Cross of our Salvation, He wrote the Value of His Sacrifice upon unleavened bread and wine—the ink and paper to which Eternal Credit is granted to those in Communion with His Word. And upon the next day, Jesus cashed that Check, our sins paid in full for all time. Dutifully, the doctors of Christianity follow these instructions per the traditions and commands of Jesus the Christ.
Thus, the Consecrated Host is Jesus, Himself; and sadly, He's still mocked in spite of all that He's given to us.
In the current situation this thread chronicles, though, one can only hope and pray that the individual involved in this YouTube business is either only bluffing, or has an unconsecrated host in spite of his "efforts."
“I see no evidence ..”
I hope they are not, but we don’t know, which is why we must take action.
Cowards only disrespect peace-loving people. They wouldn’t dare show disrespect radical Islamists.
Even if the person is bluffing, it still shows horrible disrespect, and he will have to face God some day, and he won’t think he’s so smart then.

You-Tube shows it’s bias!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you to everyone who took action against You-Tube.
How does that saying go?
When they came for the Catholics, I did not help, because I was not Catholic...........and then they came for me.
