From The "You Can't Make This Stuff Up" Department, Ireland-
The recent theft of a 12th century Irish saint's heart from a Dublin church has left local Christians stunned and devastated.
“All I would ask is that whoever took it would return it with no questions asked. It's valueless to anyone but the Cathedral here and our community and the community of Dublin...we're grieving over it, really,” church dean Rev. Dermot Dunne told CNA on March 5.
The heart of St. Laurence O'Toole was stolen from Christ Church Cathedral in Dublin sometime between 9:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. on March 3 and has yet to be recovered.
Rev. Dunne said that the local Christian community is particularly devastated “that someone should deprive us of a special link” of their past and their Christian founder.
Although Christ Church Cathedral is part of the Anglican Church, Rev. Dermot said that both the Catholic and Anglican dioceses of Dublin venerate St. O'Toole as the patron of the city.
