Malaysian Government Decides Not to Prosecute Muslim Reporters Who Spat Out Holy Communion

The Catholic Culture website reports today that the Malaysian government has decided not to prosecute journalists who desecrated the Eucharist recently.

The attorney general of Malaysia, Abdul Gani Patail, said that the government saw no reason to take action against two reporters from the journal "Al Islam," who had attended Mass and received Communion as part of their investigation into complaints that Catholics were seeking to convert Muslims.

The reporters said that they had later spat out the Blessed Sacrament, stirring outrage among Catholics.

The attorney general -- after studying the case -- concluded that the reporters "did not intend to offend anyone," but acted out of "sheer ignorance."
