St. Cloud Priest Arrested After Biting Woman in Communion Dispute on May 23
May 23, 2024, 09:24 PM
A Catholic priest in St. Cloud, Florida, has been arrested after allegedly biting a woman during a dispute over Holy Communion on May 23. The incident occurred on Sunday when the woman, who attended two separate Masses, attempted to grab the Eucharist wafers, which she referred to as 'cookies'. The priest reportedly bit her forearm to prevent what he perceived as an act of desecration, stating he felt he had no choice but to protect the wafers. The St. Cloud Police Department is investigating the incident, and the Diocese of Orlando has defended the priest's actions as an attempt to protect the sacrament. The priest has been charged with one count of battery.
