In Italy, they stole a relic with the blood of Pope John Paul II.

An ampoule with a few drops of the former pope’s blood disappeared Wednesday evening from the cathedral in Spoleto, about 100 kilometers north of Rome. Police have launched an investigation.

“I want to believe that this is a gesture of superficiality, which was not intended to offend the feelings of believers. I also want to believe that this ruthless gesture was not made for money, “Vatican News quoted fellow archbishop Renato Boccard as saying.

The ampoule with the blood of the Polish pope was donated in 2016 by the Archbishop of Kraków, Stanislaw Dziwisz, who made Karol Wojtyl, as the civic name of John Paul II sounds, a personal secretary for decades.
