SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - A Holy Communion wafer allegedly bless by Pope John Paul II was not sold on eBay after all.More here...
The seller withdrew the wafer, the Holy Eucharist, and the sale was never finalized, said Monsignor Roger J. Augustine, administrator of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sioux City.
The wafer, reportedly blessed by the late pope during a Mass in Rome on Oct. 18, 1998, was offered last weekend by a seller in the northwest Iowa town Sloan. It sold on Monday for $2,000 to a buyer in California.
Augustine, who met with the seller on Friday, was told that the sale would not happen.
