"Jesus" is Stolen - Rome Offers $500 Reward for His Return
A Roman Catholic Church in Detroit, Michigan is offering a $500 reward for the return of "Jesus" (in the Catholic "wafer" form) along with the stolen "tabernacle" he was locked in. This was reported in a Jan 19 'Detroit Free Press' article titled, "Sacred Hosts Taken in Theft."
The article said:
1. "Police officers who are parishioners have been checking pawn shops...but they don't think a pawn shop would touch it."
Comment – "Jesus" in a pawn shop? I wonder what the pawn shop could get per wafer?
2. "A used tabernacle could be worth $500 to $5,000, depending on its ornateness and condition. But the only buyers likely would be other Catholic churches."
Comment – At $500, it appears that Rome is low-balling the reward money! But then, Rome has always loved money more than Christ.
The priest of the church said he and his parishioners are worried about what's happened to "Jesus":
"For us, the most important thing is the Blessed Sacrament was still inside. It was just a grief, a terrible sadness that the sacrament had been taken and worrying about where it was and what happened to it."
This is not the first time "Jesus" has been stolen in Detroit:
"In 1983, a trail of communion wafers led Detroit police to arrests in the burglary of St. Andrew Catholic Church on Detroit's west side. As the pair of thieves carted off the church's tabernacle, they neglected to notice the communion wafers falling out. The hosts led right to the front door of one suspect."
It appears this newest theft of the Catholic "god" will not be so easily solved!
Question - What is Roman Catholicism? Answer – A man-made religion where its "god," worth $500 including tabernacle, can be stolen!
May God give many Catholics the grace to see that the real Jesus of the bible is NOT found in pawn shops, wafers, or Catholic churches. Christ is presently at the right hand of the Father, and He's ready to forgive anyone who will confess the sin of being a Catholic, forsake Romanism forever, and receive Christ by faith ALONE for the full and free forgiveness of sins.
