Catholics Pissed Off

At least one is. At chocolate crosses no less. AP (03.25.05), via TheGuardian:

"A mass-produced chocolate cross is being sold this Easter by Russell Stover Candies Inc. in about 5,000 stores nationwide, which experts say is apparently a first for a major American company. However, not all Christians are happy about it. Chomping on a chocolate cross can be offensive to some, said Joseph McAleer, a spokesman for the Roman Catholic diocese in Bridgeport, Conn. 'The cross should be venerated, not eaten, nor tossed casually in an Easter basket beside the jelly beans and marshmallow Peeps,' he said. 'It's insulting.'" Chocolate Crosses Move Into Mainstream

What do you have against Peeps, Mr. McAleer? Russell Stover considered making a chocolate Jesus, and a cross with Jesus on it, but decided against it. Dashboard Jesus is still OK though.
