Spike ,'Chosen'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
For those who wondered, it was a spokeswoman for the church who first called it a hate crime.
“We don’t know 100 percent what Mr. Cook's motivation was,” Susan Fani, a spokeswoman with the local Catholic diocese, told myfoxorlando.com. “However, if anything were to qualify as a hate crime, to us this seems like this might be it.”
Because what? Suddenly all the Catholic Churches would start fearing for their communion wafers? It was an implicit threat against the body of Christ?
It seems more like a hate peccadillo to me.
I think hate is probably even the wrong word. Mocking hassle?

One headline even said that he was holding the host "hostage" (should I capitalize host? Not sure.)
BTW, I hope that I haven't offended any of our Catholics. I know that many of you take your religion very seriously, and I do not mean to disrespect you or your faith by disagreeing with the stance that the church has taken on this issue.
No, that's just bad reporting. Susan Fani is press release queen for the Catholic League.
Is it possible she's both? Because otherwise yeah, that's some seriously bad reporting.
