One chalice was a personal gift to Bishop Stephan. This is the one Walther used at the congregation that his brother vacated (by death).
Things happened fast. Walther organized the mob against Stephan. Next came the Altenburg Debate. Then C.F.W. accepted the call extended by his late brother's congregation.

The Stephanites were communing from a chalice looted from the RCC by the secular Napoleon, and then later looted from the Stephan family. Perfect! Of course, when one believes in UOJ, all sorts of contradictions like that are allowable, and one still has the perfect assurance of forgiveness of sins.
In the news today the pastor and found of a Perfecting Church finds himself frequently on the wrong side of the law of the land:
