Wow, that is pretty crass. It reminds of the priest I heard tell the congregation during mass that the regular partaking of Communion was akin to Popeye eating his spinach. In other words, just as Popeye gained physical strength by eating spinach so the faithful would gain spiritual strength by regularly attending mass and taking communion.
