Woman Says She Was Bitten by Priest During Communion

A woman says she was bitten by a priest in the middle of her niece’s Holy Communion and filed a police report wanting to press charges. The issue was allegedly over the mishandling of a Communion wafer. In a statement, the Diocese of Orlando said, “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.”
