And this man is a professor
An atheist is one thing. But an atheist who holds a teaching position at a university, who feels compelled not only to desecrate the Eucharist as proof of his disbelief, but to do so defiantly and publicly….is quite another.
Catholics around the world were outraged earlier this month when an American academic exhorted his readers on his weblog to steal a consecrated Host from a Catholic Mass so that he might then desecrate it. Despite protests from Catholic organisations and hundreds of individuals contacting him personally, Professor Paul Zachary Myers has written that he has carried through with his threat.
A biology professor at the University of Minnesota Morris (UMM) and the author of [a science blog], Myers is an avowed materialist atheist of the Darwinian school. On his blog he frequently writes disparagingly of religious belief, particularly Christian belief and is a member of the academic cadre opposed to the teaching of Intelligent Design in American schools.
On his weblog, which he promotes as “evolution, development, and random biological ejaculations from a godless liberal,” he wrote July 8, “Can anyone out there score me some consecrated communion wafers?… if any of you would be willing to do what it takes to get me some, or even one, and mail it to me, I’ll show you sacrilege, gladly, and with much fanfare…[I will] treat it with profound disrespect and heinous cracker abuse, all photographed and presented here on the web.”
Which proves….what? The evolution of higher intellectual thinking in the sciences? What a disgrace.
