  • Florida Priest Bites Woman After Refusing To Give Her Communion, Police Say

    Florida Priest Bites Woman After Refusing To Give Her Communion, Police Say

    A priest in Central Florida got into an argument with a church member during service and ended up biting them, per WFTV 9. The incident took place at St. Thomas Aquinas Church in St Cloud. The police have suggested charging the priest, Father Fidel, with battery. 

    This happened while people were receiving communion during the mass, reports note. According to an unidentified woman, the disagreement began when she was denied communion.

    “He tried to forcefully shove it in her mouth, and she backed up,”

    a witness told police.

    “She said no don’t do that and she tried to get it and that is when he went crazy.”

    The priest, however, shared a different version of the events with the police. According to him, the woman attended the 10 o’clock mass but seemed unfamiliar with how to receive communion. As a result, he denied her the bread wafer. The priest said that the woman returned for another service and attempted to take the wafer from his hand, leading to a confrontation.

    He admitted to biting the woman and explained that he did so to protect the wafer because it is believed to be the body of Christ.

    “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.

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

  • Priest Reportedly Cuts Off His Own Penis Amid Mental Break Down Following Tick Bite

    Priest Reportedly Cuts Off His Own Penis Amid Mental Break Down Following Tick Bite

    In the Czech Republic, a priest reportedly went into psychosis after a tick bite and resorted to cutting off his own penis with a knife, reports the New York Post. 

    The Českobudějovick, Southern Bohemia mayor told a local media outlet,

    “We don’t know exactly what happened, it was probably a health problem.” 

    Czech locals became concerned when the clergyman didn’t appear for a scheduled meeting. Paramedics discovered him unconscious and covered in blood, with his severed penis nearby, as reported by Czech outlets.

    The injured clergyman was quickly taken to the nearby hospital, where doctors found additional injuries to his genitals. His worsening condition led to an induced coma and 10 days on a ventilator, according to the Daily Mail. However, the man’s comatose state made it challenging for medics to determine what had happened before.

    Vicar general of the České Budějovice diocese, David Henzl, told the local news outlet,

    “He is lying unconscious in the ARO ward [critical care unit]… Due to these circumstances, it is impossible to find out what really happened.”

    The religious leader testified that doctors found viral-related damage to the patient’s nervous system. It was suggested that the priest had tick-borne encephalitis, a tick-transmitted disease causing brain swelling and potential personality changes and psychosis in advanced stages.

    The Czech Republic has a high TBE incidence, with 500 to 1,000 cases annually, especially in the South Bohemian region where the incident took place. The clergyman had prior health issues, but no foul play is suspected according to the police.
