For Those About to Gouge

Published on October 3, 2011

Mary Valle:Via Gawker, here's a report on a man who gouged his eyes out in the middle of Mass in Viareggio, Italy.  The most impressive thing about this tale is that the priest who was offering the Holy Sacrifice, Lorenzo Tanganelli, called the paramedics who took the poor disturbed fellow away. Then Fr. Tanganelli carried on celebrating Mass even though "a lot of people had left." I know where I want to be come the Rapture. Right in Fr. Tanganelli's fold, as he observes the commotion, calmly, shrugs his shoulders, and keeps on with his Mass. Wall Street Occupiers? Try to recruit this fellow. I think he has some important skills. And a serious in with Santa Lucia.
