Vandals Profane French Church, Steal Consecrated Hosts
Breitbart ^ | 5/20/20 | Thomas D. Williams

Posted on 05/22/2020 6:45:46 PM PDT by marshmallow

Unidentified vandals broke into the Church of Saint-Jean-des-Cordeliers in southwest France Tuesday and jimmied open the tabernacle to steal the consecrated hosts.

According to the attentive folks at L’Observatoire de la Christianophobie, the vandals broke into the church, located in the town of Bergerac in the Dordogne region, sometime in the afternoon, and stole both the hosts and the ciboria (covered metal vessels) that held them.

The theft of consecrated hosts often occurs in conjunction with Satanism, since the Satanic rite called a Black Mass is performed using the consecrated bread, which Catholics believe to be the body of Jesus Christ.

As Irish priest Father David Jones noted in late 2018, the growth of Satanic cults has seen a corresponding rise in demand for consecrated hosts.

We know that “consecrated hosts go missing from churches every month to be sold on the black market and desecrated in satanic rituals,” Father Jones said.

“It’s very easy to get sacred hosts in Ireland. We know from CCTV that people go to churches when no-one is there and many priests and sacristans are careless about leaving the key to the tabernacle around or in a places that is easily guessed,” he said.

Last year, Catholics in the United States raised an alarm when the e-commerce company Etsy.com posted an ad for “Real Catholic Hosts, consecrated by a priest.”

Sold by a business called “Pentagora,” the ad stated that the purpose of the nine hosts was “to abuse for classic black fairs or black magic purposes.”

Take and eat; for this is my body which is shed for you. Matt 26:26

Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will have to answer for the body and blood of the Lord. A person should examine himself, and so eat the bread and drink the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body, eats and drinks judgment on himself. 1 Cor 11:27-29

My and my friend Kevin used to steal the not yet blessed wine and wafers.

We’d eat the wafers in class and drink the wine in the woods in my neighborhood

Are you proud of that fact?

We had a good time with the wine.

Just because you’ve lived your whole life like a b.tch doesn’t mean others couldn’t have fun.

We were Altar boys having a few laughs.

Wrong? Yeah, I guess.

But it’s self righteous pr.cks who rail against the church in their pompous nauseating threads and posts that turn people off to religion.

Yeah the Catholic church is a mess right now.

How’s about doing some charity work until we get a real Pope instead of crying like a little girl here?

buona notte!! :)

Stealing is a sin; but I guess that never occurred to you.

A lot of kids who were altar boys have.

It was not blessed yet and it was still wrong but already someone here is having a stroke over it :)

That made my day :)

Fairly innocent youthful antics is a LOT different than HATEFUL desecration by a religion that wants us DEAD.

Some can’t see the difference

Hey you know what? If you were perfect and some kinda nickel-plated angel, you wouldn’t have needed a redeemer in the first place. Just more proof of you being a sinner and YET another thing you’re forgiven for. That’s how I see it.

It’s not so much that you did it as a dumb kid...
but it’s that as a grown adult you think we are interested in reliving it with you.

You said you “used to steal...”, implying more than once.

Some altar boys, you and Kevin were.
