I posted about the sermon a couple of weeks ago.
The comeuppance has hit.
Shoplift row pasta joke for priest
-Ananova
The vicar who told his flock shoplifting was OK has been attacked by a parishioner - with a bucket of ravioli.
Father Tim Jones was drenched as he left his church - and accused of mocking the poor, reports The Sun.
Angry Martin Stot, 48, staged the ambush after buying 30 tins of spaghetti and ravioli from Asda. He poured the pasta into the bucket, which he hid in a phone box.
The contents of the bucket may have been inspired by the priest himself, who said he would "rather people take an 80p can of ravioli rather than turn to some of the most appalling things".
Mr Stot said afterwards: "I was just offended by what he said. I thought I would make my own little protest."
Father Jones, 42, sparked uproar with his Christmas sermon at St Lawrence and St Hilda in York - in which he advised the hungry to steal from large stores.
The dad of two said of the ravioli ambush: "It was a frightening and humbling experience."
But he forgave his attacker and refused to call police.
Father Jones said: "In conversation with him afterwards, it emerged his had been a very hard life indeed."
