Nothing Justifies this Act of Blasphemy

Just: a couple of things on this situation.  There has been a lot of coverage and the Archdiocese even got involved, or at least someone who claimed to represent the Archdiocese in this matter.  Both the Archdiocese and the perpetrators claim there is a "certificate for sacred use".  We'd like to see that and in any case don't believe it exists.   Even if it did exist, it doesn't permit the owners to abuse and commit sacrilege, and it doesn't excuse Diocesan officials from trying to ignore the issue as they apparently have for a long time.

Why doesn't one of you Americans go and take the holy object (some sort of chalice I guess) and run away with it ?

Surely that would be justified under the circuмstances.

This thing has been going for 7 years and local people don't understand what the problem is because most of them have been so poorly catechized they've probably never seen a monstrance much less a definition of Eucharist.

The owner of the bar is already alleging that people are threatening him.

It's more likely his own patrons or people in the local area.

He's got a reputation for being nasty himself.
