Jotham Posted May 25 Posted May 25 Quote The incident between the priest and a female parishioner began at approximately 10 a.m. on Sunday during Mass at St. Thomas Aquinas Church in St. Cloud, Florida, when a woman "came through Father Fidel Rodriguez's Holy Communion line and appeared unaware of the proper procedure," according to a statement released by the Diocese of Orlando. "After a brief exchange with the woman, it was determined that she was neither prepared nor disposed to participate in Communion," read the statement. "Father Rodriguez gave the woman a blessing and advised her to receive the Sacrament of Penance (Confession) before coming back to receive Holy Communion (Eucharist)." The same woman is said to have arrived at 12 p.m. for Mass on Sunday and stood in Father Rodriguez's Communion line when he asked her if she had been to the Sacrament of the Penance (Confession) to which she replied that "it was not his business," according to the Diocese of Orlando. "Father Rodriguez offered the woman Holy Communion on the tongue," church officials said. "At that point, the woman forcefully placed her hand in the vessel and grabbed some sacred Communion hosts, crushing them. Having only one hand free, Father Rodriguez struggled to restrain the woman as she refused to let go of the hosts. When the woman pushed him and reacting to a perceived act of aggression, Father Rodriguez bit her hand so she would let go of the hosts she grabbed."
