St Peter's Anglican Church in Toronto has been deluged with complaints from Christians all over Canada. Why? Because the vicar gave Holy Communion to a dog. Dogs are clearly not part of their god's creation, it seems! The priest gave the Host – a bizarre ritual where Christians eat the body of Jesus Christ – to an Alsatian cross called Trapper. Donald Keith, the dog's owner, said he had taken his pet to the church because he had been told animals were welcome. He said that because he was newcomer the vicar invited him up in person to receive communion. "The minister welcomed me and said come up and take communion, and Trapper came up with me and the minister gave him communion as well," said Mr Keith. "Then he bent his head and said a little prayer," Mr Keith said. "I thought it was a nice way to welcome me into the church," he said. "I thought it was acceptable." He added: "There was an old lady in the front just beaming when she saw this. "Ninety nine-point-nine per cent of the people in the church love Trapper and the kids play with him." He said one member of the congregation was unhappy about the vicar giving the dog communion and complained to the archbishop, Colin Johnson. The dog has since been banned from receiving the sacrament. Religion can be so entertaining. Down boy!

I like dogs a whole lot more than people.......and I bet he's a whole lot more honest than the people calling and complaining.

I've never understood eating the body and drinking the blood of your saviour - what an odd way to behave!

I'm not sure how cannibalism is indicative of another's suffering - even if it is symbolic. That does not make sense. To make yourself suffer I could understand but eating and drinking someone? No, that does not fit.

all this Religion stuff always comes with a call for OBEDIENCE ..SUBMISSION "..or else.. you burn in hell .. blabla" ... thats why I hate it .. obedience is always demanded by those who have an advantage from it .. who want to force their will on others .. manipulate others .. etc .. so for me religion can go fuck itself .. and everyone who demands obedience/submission from me can go fuck himself too ..
my 2 cents... keep the change
AMEN !!!
