A Florida priest is accused of biting a woman during a dispute at Sunday Mass and could be charged with battery. The woman attended a 10 a.m. service at St. Thomas Aquinas Church in St. Cloud on Sunday and tried to take Communion, the Diocese of Orlando said. She had a brief discussion with the Rev. Fidel Rodriguez, who told her she hadn't taken the proper steps to secure Communion and sent her away with a blessing, the diocese said in a statement.
Cloud, which is about 30 miles south of Orlando, and a charging affidavit accused Rodriguez of battery. The woman told police that Rodriguez tried to 'ram' the wafer into her mouth after he became upset with her for not having completed the necessary steps to take Communion, according to a police report. She accused him of grabbing and biting her arm as she tried to take a wafer he was holding, the report said.
