"Jesus Popsicles"

I found this through Spirit Daily this morning.  It's taking all the charity I have within me not to start spewing horrible, nasty things about this pea-brain of an "artist." 

He claims he made popsicles using the Blood of Christ after a priest "inadvertently" blessed it during a Mass.

For the record, a priest cannot "inadvertently" bless anything.  He either does or he doesn't.  The corporal isn't just there to act as a napkin to catch fallen particles.  It's also a boundary for items that need to be included for consecration.

So in order for this fool to obtain the Precious Blood, he'd've had to do one of two things:



1)  Sneak a cruet of wine onto the corporal (which is direct center of the altar) in the middle of Mass (since the priest opens and places it after the Liturgy of the Word), then somehow steal it away before Communion without ever being detected.

or

2)  Steal the consecrated wine through taking a chalice that's being used during Communion (which would create some sort of commotion, I'd assume), or accepting the Precious Blood via Communion and instead of ingesting, commit an even greater sacrilege by spitting the now consecrated wine into a vial or some other container for later use.

It's not like he could hold his little bottle of wine under his pew during a Mass and have it consecrated (which is what he stupidly thinks he did).  It's not like he could drive by a chapel and suddenly the wine in his cooler becomes Christ's Blood.

Seriously - how foolish does he expect people to be???

Apparently exactly as foolish as they are.  This article ran on CNN and he's planning to sell them during NY's Design Week.  Disgusting. 

May God have mercy on us.  We have no idea how tragic we are unto ourselves.
