SPRING GROVE, Penn., Oct. 2 /Christian
Newswire/ -- Host desecration videos originally
pulled from YouTube have been reposted. The America Needs
Fatima campaign is sickened by this blasphemy and has
collected 18,201 signatures on a protest petition in just 7
days.
The 40 separate desecration videos -- originally posted in
mid-August -- showed the Host being flushed down a toilet,
stomped on and fed to ducks, among other sickening
spectacles.
In response to the America Needs Fatima petition, the
desecration videos were pulled from YouTube on October 1,
but were reposted the same day.
Robert Ritchie, director of America Needs Fatima, explained:
"As Catholics, we believe the Host is the body, blood, soul
and divinity of Christ. Witnessing the desecration of the
Host causes anguish to Catholics all over the world."
Ritchie added: "In the past, YouTube has removed videos
offensive to Jews and members of other religions, including
one showing a teenager urinating on a Holocaust memorial.
Why can't Catholics be afforded the same respect for our
deeply held beliefs?"
"The desecration of the Host is not an acceptable form of
free speech. The only message it conveys is one of
unremitting hatred," Ritchie said.

tradition, family and property.
