A peaceful Sunday service at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church in St. Cloud, Florida, took a violent turn when a priest allegedly bit a woman attending Mass. The heated altercation, captured on video, has now led to police recommending battery charges against the priest in question. According to reports, the woman involved claimed that the scuffle began when she was denied communion by the priest. She alleged that he forcefully tried to shove the wafer in her mouth, to which she objected. On the other hand, the priest gave a different account, stating that he was protecting the sacred sacrament when the woman attempted to grab it from him.
