Jesus would have Shared His Body with her...

 He didn't die on that cross for the saints, but the sinners amongst us.  (Hint: that's you and me, everyone...)

Denying anyone communion is bullshit. It's the antithesis of the sacrament. The Catholic and Lutheran Churches insist on controlling its distribution. The Wisconsin Synod Lutherans more than anyone. They think they're the only one's going to heaven.

But that's how this started. He denied her communion at the 10am mass. She came back at noon. He said if she had not confessed after the first mass, he could not give her communion. She tried grabbing the body of Christ from his hand, and he bit the body of the woman.

Jesus would have given her the wafer.

Florida priest bites woman during Communion scuffle: ‘I am defending myself and the sacrament’

...The woman attended a 10 a.m. Mass, but was denied Communion then because she didn’t know the process, Fr. Rodriguez claimed.

When she came back for the noon Mass, the two squared off, with the confrontation caught on tape and obtained by the station. The details are unclear because another person waiting to receive the sacrament blocked a portion of the incident.

“I am not judging you. I am asking you: Did you confess after Mass? If you did not confess, I cannot give you Communion,” Fidel told officers afterward, per the outlet.

“I bit her, I am not denying that. I am defending myself and the sacrament.”

The Catholic Diocese of Orlando defended the priest in a statement posted online.

“The woman forcefully placed her hand in the vessel and grabbed some sacred Communion hosts, crushing them,” part of the statement said. “Having only one hand free, Father Rodriguez struggled to restrain the woman as she refused to let go of the hosts.”

The diocese also said Rodriguez didn’t know anything about the woman.

“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. The woman was immediately asked to leave.”

“Further, while the Diocese of Orlando does not condone physical altercations such as this, in good faith, Father Rodriguez was simply attempting to prevent an act of desecration of the Holy Communion, which, as a priest, Father Rodriguez is bound by duty to protect.”
