Prime Minister Stephen Harper has blamed the uproar over his handling of the Holy Communion host at former governor general Romeo LeBlanc's funeral mass on people trying to cause embarrassment and create division between Catholics and Protestants.

    What is the big deal. The Priest presiding over the funeral offered communion to Mr Harper and he accepted. End of story or it should be.

    Is there nothing else going on in Canada worth talking about?

    Give it some time, soon a the french will say they are being oppressed again or someone will keep their hat on during a national anthem and the media will work itself in a frenzy over that.

    I think the title says it all; " want to drive a wedge". I don't think either religion has it out for the other, it's just the media making something out of nothing. My priest told me "Protestant / Catholic, they're pretty much the same thing".

    I thought Catholics and Protestants already had a wedge driven between them, and that's why they're Catholics and Protestants, rather than just Catholics and unwilling Catholics.

    This is typical of superstitious people. My mojo is better than your mojo. :roll:

    It’s just another good reason why superstition and politics shouldn’t mix.

    A wedge? This matters in a secular society in the 21st century? It's 2009, not 1519 and Luther and Eck are squaring up. The only people that see this are the ones that want to see it.

    I agree with Mustang1, the whole issue is a non issue. I after much thought on the subject figure what the hell. If a non Catholic is offered for what ever reason the host and has no idea of the belief behind it or its meaning is and doesn't know what to do with it big deal.

    It's a Islamic conspiracy to keep the west off the scent of the Islam conspiracy to slowly take over the world

    Can't we all just get along?

    Most Protestant Christian Churches have holy communion, just like Catholics do. Unlike Catholics, they believe that the host and wine are merely symbolic, not ritualistic cannibalism that is embodied in the idea of transubstantiation.

    My son on was baptized as a Presbyterian, yet he attended a Catholic school(Dominican) and the school chaplain, Father Prudencio, also a family friend, knew this. Yet my son received communion from him, and during communion in school he served as an altar boy. Prudencio said whether or not you believed it actually became the blood and flesh wasn't as important as believing in what the act of communion represented, the fellowship and unity of believers.
