Is there anymore pathetic excuses for someone to complain about something anymore?

Its a cracker, give it up. Whoopiee, get over it religious freaks.

Adeltonian I hear where you are coming from..BUT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN different if he had just taking it from the shelves or the glass where is kept.....the mere fact that he accepted it - blessed from the priest IS SACRALEGES...AND DISRESPECTFUL to all Catholics...do I think he should be expelled that's a bit too radical.....NO....but he definately NEEDS TO LEARN TO HAVE RESPECT FOR ANYONE'S RELIGION...letting this go WILL OPEN A PANDORA FOR THE NEXT ONE THAT WAS TO TAKE A FREAKING.......PRAYING CARPET or whatever that's used in Muslim prayer, the Yamika from a Jew.....WE CANNOT CONDONE THIS BEHAVIOR AND BLOW IT OFF...........AS A MERE CRACKER.......

Not a Catholic however, we Christians seem to have thick skins with many attacks. Good thing this kid didnt steal a Koran. We might be talking about a different story.

Wow. The Catholic League needs to realize this makes them look like a bunch of hypocritical WHACKOS.

I could understand them saying "we didn't appreciate what this young man did and feel he should apologize" but their excessive and violent treatment of this man violates everything Jesus was SUPPOSED to stand for.

I have lost a lot of respect for the Catholic religion after hearing this story (which is notable since giving pedophile preists a "second chance" had already rendered my opinion of the Catholic Chuch very low)

The student's actions may have been wrong, but he shouldn't be expelled from the University of Central Florida, since the incident had nothing to do with his behavior or performance as a student there. The two things are totally unrelated.

Furthermore, anyone who threatens to kill this student over this perceived sacrilege is committing sacrilege, because murder is against the teachings of Jesus Christ. People ought to learn what values and ethics his gospel teaches and expects us to follow before getting into a huff in his name. Those who think murder is compatible with defense of Christianity need to do a serious re-reading of the New Testament in the Bible.

Finally, the Roman Catholic church is at fault here too. Its distribution of communion wafers has gotten far too casual and careless since Vatican II. There's rarely any announcement that communion wafers are reserved for practicing Roman Catholics, and they're no longer placed in the mouth of the recipient by the priest. Anyone can get into line and receive one, in the hand, no questions asked, by a priest, deacon, layman or laywoman. If Roman Catholics feel communion wafers are that sacred, they need to practice better stewardship in how and to whom they distribute them. At this point, they're extremely lax about it.

I think this is way out of hand. Let the kid go. It's just a religious symbol. There is worse stuff out there. This only makes the Catholic religion less deseriable to people who are looking for a way to god. I think this kid should apologize to the church he took it from just to the priest and he should recive an apology from the church for the people who have threatened his life.

What is wrong with these psychotic overbearing religious freaks? Is a cracker worth threatening a kids life over?

This sounds just as ridiculous as all the Allah freaks killing each other over religious beliefs that contradict common sense and reality.

Before you know it, even Catholics will find a excuse to murder each other and call it a religious belief.

What is wrong with this world that anyone gets overbearing and argumentative over a religion.

Religion is nothing but a personal belief. If you don't like others beliefs then ignore them.

It is a cookie!!! Are you for real?! Get over it!!!

this is why non-believers are non-believers!!! the catholic church is going to persecute this kid for wanting to learn about religion??? if he defaced or disrespected the Eucharist, thats f'ed up but we are going to sue this kid or kick him outta school cause of it...? i thought there was supposed to be seperation from church and state? the school should have no say and there should be ABSOLUTELY NO DISCPLINARY ACTIONS... if a follower of Satan burns the Holy Bible, we are going to sue him??? Get the freak outta hea'!!!

Its a CRACKER!!! Good grief people! Why threaten someones life over a dry tasteless CRACKER???? He was curious about the catholic religion and did what he did because he was curious. Great way to show what a great religion being 'catholic' is.

Makes me embarrassed to know that I was baptized catholic and went to catholic school for the first 4 years of my education.

And the reaction from those in the religion is laughable. There are a lot more important things in this world, more viable REAL things then the contrived superstition and ritual over some flour and water....

Get a grip on reality catholics and leave the man alone. He apologized for it and that was thrown in his face. The catholic religion disgusts me now more than aver and all this is doing is showing what a travesty catholicism truly IS...

Since he isn't a member of the church, why was he even allowed to take communion in the first place? In every church I've been to, visitors are told to stay put by the ushers when communion is served.

As much as we all would like, we will never be able to control another's actions. Kick him out of the church if the congregation is outraged. Ask him to make a public apology. That is all this merits.

If I understood correctly, the diocese suggested they consider labeling this as a hate crime. That is an insult to all victims of actual hate crimes.

Wow thats pretty lame I mean a college kid who worked hard to get into college and payed for it got kicked out and is given death threats from catholics for stealing this 1 tiny little cracker the size of a quarter the catholic church has gotta stop with the overreacting consequences they couldve at least gave him like 24 hours of community service but A whole expulsion from college thats pretty deep .

Its very interesting that they would advocate violence over the symoblic body of Jesus 'the pacifist' Christ. I just can't see Jesus going to the office of the President of UCF and advocating the expulsion of the accused. I really think they need to forgive him and try to open dialogue.

What Would Jesus do? Would he want someone being threatened over a host which is suppose to symbolize his body which died for us because he loved us..sounds kind of hypocritical especially trying to make a hate crime out of it. The Catholic league person sounded hateful!
