Jonathan Ricci was arrested Saturday morning after he allegedly tried to steal "a handful of communion wafers" from a priest at a Catholic church in Jensen Beach, Florida. Ricci, 33, sought to swipe 15 [consecrated] wafers valued at $1 [to us Catholics, He is our Treasure of infinite price], according to a Martin County Sheriff's Office report, a copy of which you'll find here. During mass at around 9 AM, Ricci accepted a wafer on the Communion line, but "walked away without taking the communion into his mouth." [What was he thinking?!?!] After refusing a priest's requests to "accept" [consume] the wafer [Jesus], Ricci "turned to the priest and grabbed a handful of the wafers [hosts] from the plate [paten] and attempted to leave" St. Martin de Porres Church, according to the report. "Due to the religious significance of the holy communion, the parishioners were very upset at his callous treatment of their holy ritual [you mean the source and summit of our lives]" and sought to detain him. An "enraged" Ricci then began to act "crazy" and scuffled with parishioners, two of whom (men aged 82 and 66) sustained minor injuries. Ricci was charged with theft, battery, and disrupting a religious assembly.
Moral of the story: If you try to steal Jesus or take the Eucharist without consuming Him, be prepared to be dropped-kicked by a zealous E.M.!!!
Fortunately for Ricci, he didn't try this act of stupidity at St. Catherine's. Personally, I would be terrified to face a church full of aunties with bullet proof hair and heels that could penetrate through armor. =P
