Officers from the St. Cloud Police Department in Florida arrested a priest, identified as Father Fidel, after he allegedly bit a woman during communion at Mass at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church.

While Father Fidel Rodriguez admitted to the bite during Mass, there are contrasting versions of what led up to the unusual fracas at the St. Thomas Aquinas Church in St. Cloud, Florida.

A priest in Florida bit a woman’s hand during a physical altercation while he was administering Communion to the congregants of his church, officials said.

However, the priest told police a different story. He says the woman first came to the 10 o’clock Mass but didn’t seem to know the process of receiving communion, so he denied her the bread wafer.
