It was a rather interesting piece, but it is a dark satire aimed at correcting a situation with ridicule and sarcasm. My grandmother was asked at then her young future sister in-law, if it was true that Catholics eat their babies, because she was Catholic. My grandmother, relieved that someone actually spoke to her besides my grandfather, laughed and said, "No." Besides, if Catholics ate their babies, that would go against their general pro-life stance. Remember, thou shalt not kill?

I don't think you have any evidence and you don't know what you are talking about. You obviously hate Catholics and this comment sounds very immature/childish.
