This image provided by the New York City Police Department shows a missing tabernacle and damaged angel statue in St. Augustine's Roman Catholic Church in Brooklyn’s Park Slope neighborhood in New York, which was stolen between Thursday, May 26, 2022 and Saturday, May 28, 2022. The tabernacle, a box containing Holy Communion items, was made of 18-carat gold and decorated with jewels, police and the diocese said. It’s valued at $2 million.
The church was closed for construction at the time. Camera recordings from the church’s security system were also stolen, the church’s pastor said.The diocese said the thief or thieves cut through a metal protective casing and made off with a tabernacle dating to the church’s opening in the 1890s. It’s described as a “masterpiece and one of the most expensive tabernacles in the country, guarded by its own security system,” which involves an “electronically operated burglar-proof safe” and one-inch thick steel plates that “completely enclose the tabernacle.
Holy Eucharist, bread consecrated as the body of Christ, was taken from the tabernacle and thrown on the altar.
A $2 million gold statue… 2 million. Next time some .gov person wants to give Catholic Charities money, just remember they had a $2 Million statue just sitting there, and where did they get the Gold from?
Well, the church shouldn't have left an expensive relic lying about

Probably Russians
Wish it was me. I need the money.

I wouldn’t want to be them 🤔
