Their MOST recent robb berry was committsd
III the church Of Notre Dame in Paris,
An Did woman, at a time when the church
was half empty, succeeded in stealing two
chalices. each containing fifty Hosts She
must have had an! accompaice, as it was g
physical impossibility fer her Ito hide the
heavy sacred vessels under her cloak =
such a way as to leave one hand free to-
open the heavy oaken door going out Into
the street. 4, .555
Churches in Paris have been robbed in
this way before. Churches in Rome, too,
have been robbed of their chalices and
consecrated Hosts These chalices as a
rule are Of small monetary value, as they
are generally washed gold or aluminuin, ),
therefore they cannot be stolen for the
purpose Of realizing a large enough sum
to compensate the robber for his theft.
In the last case brought to public no-l
tee, the thieves have worked in such q
manner as to point lnmistakably to an
accomplice and especially to one inside.
For instance, In the convent of Santa
Maria dele Grazia, at Salerne, and the,
monastery Of Our Lady OF Dolores, in
Rome, no outsider could gain adnittance
to the inner sanctuaries In which the
Hosts are kept, unless some one Well ac-
ouaEnted with and also well known ii. the
house had aided them. s.s, =
]. Why are these Hosts stolen? II for
the purpose of melting the chalices and
selling the pure metal afterwards, then
the Hosts would be thrown away either
on ta1e altar cloth or floor. But In all the
last known cases the waters have been
carefully carried away, as though they
themselves were the prime object. .s 83:
Therefore ii. is believed that they are
stolen for the purpose of being used in
black magic. A free thinker would mot.
steal them, as to him they would carry
no Significance. They are stolen by
some person or persons who believe them
to be the body and blood Of Jesus Christ,
to lie used by them. for acts Of desecra-
ton, philters Or internal ceremonies; in
which case the theft presupposes the
existence Of satanisn. @1s 3s.
s Another question presents itself. Are
these individuals acting from a perverted
sense of sacr:lege Or are they commaui-
ties banded together and obeying orders
,as the Ni1ai i4ists do? In a word, are they
Luctferiang or SATanSsts? The presn1cp-
;tion is i'm favor off: the, former. The thefts
point to the Luc,ferians, as they hare
adopted aA their emblem a transpie pierccn
eucharist and an overturned ehaa.ce. fsE5 tE
