America’s most famous Jesuit, Father Donald McGuire, is in federal custody and prosecutors seem disinclined give him bail, they consider him a flight risk.
Does the U.S.A. have an extradition treaty with the Vatican?
McGuire, reportedly, had been an important spiritual advisor to Mother Teresa. Teresa was in the news recently when it was revealed that she didn’t really believe the Christ story stuff, especially transubstantiation.
So, I’m wondering, when these two frauds got together, what the heck did they discuss? I picture them at a table for two in the dining room of some retreat house:
Teresa: Father, I need to tell you something but you have to promise that you won't tell anyone. Ok?
McGuire SJ: Teresa, Of course, this is completely confidential, but I want to make the same request of you. I too want to tell you something that you must never tell anyone. Agreed?
Teresa: Yes, Father. But what could you…
(pause)
McGuire SJ: You first.
Teresa: Father, I know this is terrible, but I really don’t believe in the Blessed Sacrament. When I see the host up there in the monstrance, I want to believe that it’s the body of Christ. But as hard as I try, all I see is a piece of bread.
McGuire SJ: Is that all? Heck, I’m a serial child molester.
[Teresa can’t help but wince slightly.]
[Long awkward silence.]
McGuire: How’s the veal?
Teresa: You want a taste?
