CWN Editor's Note: St. Mary’s Cathedral in Cape Town is located less than a half mile from the Houses of Parliament. “A ciborium, a pyx, four silver candelabra, a gold-plated chalice, and two gold-plated patens have been stolen,” according to the report. “The consecrated hosts from the ciborium have been left inside the tabernacle but the host from the pyx has been removed.”
