How do you know that?
“How do you know that?”
Because if there was an inscription of a parish’s name, then that’s where it would go. At the very least such an inscription would help explain how the monstrance ended up in the lake because it would help delineate time and place.
1) Yet we are specifically told that the man who found it only had a notion it was “churchy” - indicating there was no inscription of a parish’s name.
2) a priest was shown the item and he said take it to the basilica. If there was an inscription of a parish’s name or a priest’s name even, that would not have been the case.
3) If it had an inscription identifying an owning parish, it would not have sat in storage for 20 years.
4) Such an inscription would have been mention in the article or at the very least in the Bishop’s homily/address. It was not.
There is NO inscription.
