Catholic Diocese Sues Metals Dealer For Buying Stolen Church Vessels

According to the Toledo Blade, on Monday the Catholic Diocese of Toledo filed suit in an Ohio state trial court against a precious metals dealer that bought a solid silver gold-plated chalice and a gold ciborium. Both items were stolen from local Catholic churches. The complaint alleges that Toledo Coin Exchange "knew or should have known that the person from whom he purchased the stolen items was either a thief or a receiver of stolen property."
