A recent episode of the Apple TV+ show Your Friends & Neighbors has sparked outrage among Catholics for its shocking depiction of Eucharistic desecration.
In season one, episode six, two characters unlawfully enter a church, remove Eucharistic Hosts from the tabernacle, and treat them as snack food — with jam as a dip.
The setting, unmistakably styled as a Catholic sanctuary, offers no plot-driven justification for this depiction. Instead, the scene leans into irreverence, going so far as to include a smirking reference to the consecrated host as “the Body of Christ.”
At one point, a male character mockingly gives a female character Communion on the tongue, making the Sign of the Cross over her and declaring, “I absolve you.”
The scene culminates with the characters initiating a sexual encounter in a pew, as the man sets the ciborium — still containing the remaining Hosts — down on the floor with visible disregard. Their actions are abruptly cut short when a priest enters the church.
In response to the episode’s mockery, CatholicVote Vice President Josh Mercer sent a letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook directly, requesting the episode’s removal. Cook has not responded as of this article’s publication.
