the soldier asked Robertson to take the artifact back while he was in
Europe on another quest.

A Jesuit missing in Syria; the Vatican batting 1.000 in American courts
http://ncronline.org/blogs/all-things-catholic/jesuit-missing-syria-vatican-batting-1000-american-courts

Like most journalists who have been in Rome lately, I know Fr. Paolo
Dall'Oglio, the Jesuit missionary and pro-democracy activist who
disappeared in Syria 11 days ago, becoming the latest symbol of the
suffering afflicting everyone in that war-torn nation, especially its
Christian minority...
