The good news: The student returned the Host because of many e-mails that he received from people around the world concerning the matter—including some that threatened to break into his dormitory room to rescue the Host. Armed university police now stand guard at Sunday Mass to prevent a similar incident.
The bad news: In reaction to the student's action, a University of Minnesota professor on his blog on the university's website has asked for anyone to get him a consecrated Host or Hosts so that he can publicly and blatantly desecrate the Host(s). In reply to a news release from the Catholic League (because the professor singled out Bill Donahue, the Catholic League's director, for his role in publicizing and criticizing the Florida university student's action), the university has removed the link to the professor's blog from its website.
