What else do we expect from the church of the new Vatican II religion? None of this shocks or surprises me anymore.

In your haste to indict, you do not realize that this foolishness of a particular priest is actually VIOLATING what was proclaimed in Vatican II. You also expose your lack of understanding of the Council with regard to the Eucharist - as it correctly proclaims and places the Holy Eucharist as the SOURCE and HIGHEST ATTAINABLE PEAK of the Christian Faith - affirming the Nature of the REAL PRESENCE. Yes, that's what The Church of the "new" Vatican II "religion" actually said... if you cared to read the documents... Some Council text for you (and this bonehead Priest) to read below:

Taking part in the Eucharistic sacrifice, the source and summit of the Christian life, they offer the divine victim to God and themselves along with it. [6] And so it is that, both in the offering and in Holy Communion, each in his own way, though not of course indiscriminately, has his own part to play in the liturgical action. Then, strengthened by the body of Christ in the Eucharistic communion, they manifest in a concrete way that unity of the People of God which this holy sacrament aptly signifies and admirably realizes.

To accomplish so great a work Christ is always present in his Church, especially in her liturgical celebrations. He is present in the sacrifice of the Mass not only in the person of his minister, "the same now offering, through the ministry of priests, who formerly offered himself on the cross," [20] but especially in the Eucharistic species.

"The Lord left behind a pledge of this hope and strength for life's journey in that sacrament of faith where natural elements refined by man are gloriously changed into His Body and Blood, providing a meal of brotherly solidarity and a foretaste of the heavenly banquet."
