And the Archdiocese of Sens and the Diocese of Senlis in France have in their treasuries whole cabinets full of lead-crystal chalices and patens on display from the 17th to the 19th centuries. So they are by no means ‘novelties’ despite the present opinion of some.Merton Smythenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-34288132602530683962011-05-09T20:45:29.369+01:002011-05-09T20:45:29.369+01:00SMCTOD,
