Father Thomas Mandow appears to be a simple, mild-mannered parish priest, but his remarkable faith and surpassing holiness have bestowed him with the awesome power to transform just about anything into the body and blood of Jesus Christ. 'I can state, without indulging myself in the sin of pride, that I have been blessed with the ability to convert anything into a Communion sacramentwhich must be used for goodand then be partaken of in remembrance of our Lord and Savior,' said Mandow in a press conference where he displayed a transubstantiated 24-piece bucket of chicken, a 64-oz. Mountain Dew bottle, and the September 2 issue of Sports Illustrated. 'Although I would not advise eating all of these items for reasons having nothing to do with their intrinsic holiness.' Mandow believes he received the dangerous gift of super-consecration after being bitten by a radioactive bishop.
