that is the sickest

[Brother Adam]

From the website before the bid is cancelled by Ebay:


Eucharist from Mass w/ Pope John Paul II in 1998 +Xtras
"Fist of all, I AM NOT CATHOLIC AND DO NOT BELIEVE I'M GOING TO HELL FOR SELLING THIS COLLECTIBLE. So, if you're going to send me a message saying that I am don't waist your time because it'll just be deleted w/o being read. It's a momento from that great afternoon with Pope John Paul II. Yes, this is the actual Eucharist I saved during the mass that I participated in on October 18th, 1998. I ate one wafer then I went back and got another one to save and he gave me another one, but I did get a very dirty look! I was studying in Florence that semester and a bunch of us went down to Rome that week to partake. I'm not Catholic, but I found it all very interesting. Along with the Eucharist, I have the program from that day and a litte bulletin. It's all in Italian. I also have 4 stamps from the Vatican that year and a bottle opener that I bought when I was in Rome way back in 1992. From what I understand, if you're holding something in your hand during a certain moment when Pope John Paul II spoke during his mass, whetever it becomes blessed. I was holding this bottle opener during mass with him in 1992. It has his picture on one side and a picture of the Trevi Fountain on the other. Everything from 1998 (Eucharist, bulletin, program, and stamps, have been encased in plastic in my stratch book since then and have not had much light and no air. All in awesome condition and I believe extrememly rare for obvious reasons. I've included a pic of 2 pics I took that day in 1998 when I was there. The front of St. Peter's was already being cleaned up for the big 2000 festivities and my other pic would have been great instead for my friend's hand in the way! I would like to sell them as a package but would consider seperate offers. These truly are great pieces of history!"

Lord have mercy!

[Brother Adam]

Actually, I hope a well of Catholic wins the bid and returns Christ to the Church.

[Ash Wednesday]

Oh my God!
Have mercy on us!



Not much shocks me at times, but this is truly sickening. Something has to be done.

[Fidei Defensor]

If i had the money, I would get it right away and return Him!

[Dudette]

OH MY GOSH!!! I can't believe it! I sure do hope it's a Catholic who has the highest bid!

[Brother Adam]

I'm contacting Ebay and reporting it as stolen property.

[Theoketos]

O my Jesus


Let us do something about this.

I am going to set up a pay pal account to raise the funds to buy it now.

[Brother Adam]

I think it would be better to contact your local Bishop. Let's get word to the Vatican and they should be able to take care of it. If we give this man $2000 there will be a thousand copy cats.

If you have an ebay account report the item as stolen property. I just did.

[Ash Wednesday]

Theo I am willing to help.

My only issue is rewarding this swine for his actions with money. :angry:

I have an account -- I will do this, too.

[Theoketos]

Ok

See what happens in a day then Ash can give us her account.

[MC Just]

THIS NEEDS TO BE REPORTED IMMEDIATELY!!!!!

THIS IS HORRIBLE!!

[Theoketos]

My brother in Christ,

It many not mean much to you, but to me this is our Lord. I have absolutely no money, as I am a Catholic Youth Worker and going to School full time. I would really enjoy having this. If you can find any sympathy in your heart, please consider donating the host back to the Church.

As much as I would love the rest of those momentos, I really would be relieved if the host at least would have a proper place.

I fear that it may be abused. I am sure that this is what the Pope would have wanted.

Sincerely yours in Christ.

[Fidei Defensor]

Email the person and tell them to hold it for a while so you can have a better chance of getting it.

[Brother Adam]

As this thread will get long - so people see the right thing to do:

That is so wrong. :angry: Can ebay do anything to stop it? This guy shouldn't get money for this. It'll just encourage others.

How dare someone do this.

[Brother Adam]

Ebay can retract the bid and report it to authorities. I think it is important that the Church finds out though. Someone find out the Bishops name and contact information in the diocese Sloan, IA. He can sue for the return of the host.
