I'm sure he did it to cause a stir and get publicity more than for any other reason. The supposed 'witch-hunt' tactics of 'extremist Catholics' hasn't occured and all that's been heard is the reaction to his threats, understandable when you consider the belief in the Body of Christ and transubstantiation in Catholicism. Prof. Myers is the one causing the kerfuffle.

I feel sorry for him. I'm sure that his excessive hatred is a symptom of a mental illness and not something he has complete control over. God can certainly forgive him, and if he's ill it's not something he can be completely responsible for. He really needs prayer.
