Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer issued a statement regarding the video of her feeding a Dorito to a leftist podcaster as if it’s the Eucharist.
A young woman told me feeding someone is a TikTok trend, but the videos she showed me had people sitting at tables or in everyday positions.
Before Vatican II, you received Communion on your knees, and the priest put the Eucharist on your tongue. You did not touch it. You can still receive Communion this way.
I attend Latin Mass, where we ALWAYS receive Communion while kneeling. We also wear veils and dresses that cover our shoulders and go to the knees. The dresses either cover our elbows or we wear a cardigan to cover the whole arm.
Anyway, Whitmer received a lot of criticism. I don’t know if she meant to do it or if the podcaster suggested it. Considering the podcaster is a far-left person, it wouldn’t shock me if she chose the position to mock Catholics.
The Bishops of Michigan issued a scathing letter criticizing the governor for her participation:
The Bishops of Michigan have expressed their “profound disappointment and offense taken” with Governor Gretchen Whitmer for posting a video skit on social media showing the state’s Governor feeding a Dorito corn chip to a kneeling podcaster in a manner that is widely being perceived as a mockery of the Holy Eucharist.“The skit goes further than the viral online trend that inspired it, specifically imitating the posture and gestures of Catholics receiving the Holy Eucharist, in which we believe that Jesus Christ is truly present,” said Paul A. Long, President and CEO of the Michigan Catholic Conference which represents the seven dioceses of the state, October 11.“It is not just distasteful or ‘strange;’ it is an all-too-familiar example of an elected official mocking religious persons and their practices. While dialogue on this issue with the governor’s office is appreciated, whether or not insulting Catholics and the Eucharist was the intent, it has had an offensive impact.”
Whitmer said:
Over 25 years in public service, I would never do something to denigrate someone’s faith. I’ve used my platform to stand up for people’s right to hold and practice their personal religious beliefs. My team has spoken to the Michigan Catholic Conference. What was supposed to be a video about the importance of the CHIPS Act to Michigan jobs, has been construed as something it was never intended to be, and I apologize for that.
But look at the body language of the podcaster. It gives off a sexual and worship vibe. It’s so gross.
Whitmer’s face is also funny, because honestly…she looks like she’s saying, “What am I doing?”
But overall the video portrays the atmosphere around Democrats. It’s a cult. It’s disturbing.
The video didn’t offend me. Then again, it’s hard to offend me when it comes to anything unless you put ketchup on your hot dog. I’m used to people mocking Catholics. It’s easy to do because we won’t blow you up and we mostly just brush it aside. It just gets so old.
