My thought was how the body of Christ could transmit Hepatitis.

What priest would consider consecrating the host with unwashed hands?

One of our priests, God rest his soul, washed his hands so intently, that Jesus had a hint of Irish Spring! :)

Better than than contagions.

He has recovered and is returning to his duties. Like the article says, it’s likely he contracted it at a meeting for new Bishops in Rome last month. He was just ordained as bishop this year and although most people realize this wasn’t his fault, he seems pretty embarrassed by the whole ordeal. Not the way he wanted to start out, I’m sure!

Thanks for the update.

No, it's not the way he wanted to start out.
Those people who like him will believe him. Those who hate him won't...and those folks don't matter much.

“.. Left-wing news outlets (that hate Catholicism as you do)..”

SOME non-Catholics play right into the left-wing media’s hands.

if he washed his hands before he said mass, he would not spread hepatitis A.

There would be a slightly higher risk from saliva if someone didn’t clean off the chalice before you took the wine.
