Father John Zuhlsdorf posts an article from the Catholic Herald by Anna Arco and then comments on the post . The consecrated host was apparently obtained from the Brompton Oratory. The comments to this post are excellent. Needless to say, Masses of Reparation were said. I, for one, suggest continued and daily prayers for those who perpetrate such deeds.
