Remember the Chilean-born, New York area "artist" who was planning to distribute popsicles that he (wrongly) claimed were made from the Precious Blood?
Yeah, that guy.
Guess what?
He's now bailed on his own publicity campaign.
According to the Christian Post:
A spokesperson for Errazuriz told The Christian Post via email that the artist is no longer granting interviews about the popsicles so that his studio can focus on other projects.
So Mr. Errasuriz has concluded that he doesn't want attention in connection with the popsicles any more and has pulled the plug on his sacrilegious popsicle campaign.
Good.
Let's hope he cancels the popsicle-distributing party he had planned for this weekend . . . so he can "focus on other projects."
This guy still need our prayers.

Perhaps his next project might be something similar directed against islam? Naaaah. I guess not. He doesn’t want his “next project” to be his last.
Is it possible that Mr Errazuriz suddenly clued into the fact that contrary to his initial claims no ‘transformation in the Christ’s blood’ or ‘inadvertent blessing by the priest’ took place for his wine thus totally deflating the the shock value of his work. A very bruised ego no doubt has lead to his silence.
It occurred to me that no artist would ever conceive of defaming Islam in a similar way. It seems at times that the only politically correct form of persecution or discrimination is that directed at the Catholic Church.
it’s probably too late for his legacy as an artist to be remembered as anything other than ‘that guy who made those god-sicles’..but it’s not too late for his soul, so let’s keep praying.
First I’ve heard of this project, and I’m instantly skeptical: Where did he propose to get this alleged Precious Blood? It’s possible to swipe the Host for sacrilegious use, but large amounts of the Precious Blood, not so much.
This proves that what Cardinal Burke stated in his book on the Most Bl. Sacrament is correct: the new evangelization must be a Eucharistic Evangelization. In “Ecclesia de Eucharistia” Bl. John Paul II expressed his desire to “re-awaken amazement and gratitude” for the Eucharist.—If people only understood the full meaning of the Mass, that they have the actual reality of the presence, sacrifice and communion of Christ available to them on the altar and in the tabernacle, they wouldn’t pay any attention to such ridiculous substitutes!—Pope Benedict XVI hopes for “a Eucharistic springtime in every parish”. We have inaugurated local Corpus Christi Cenacles for that purpose.
