The Society PiusX is building a large church in Gavrus, a village of 600 inhabitants outside Caen, France.
The church is modelled on an eighteenth-century building. It costs only €1.6m, will be finished by 2025 and is financed by the faithful.
France3 (August 27) calls the church “impressive” and is surprised that a community would build a brand new church in a region where many churches are unused or in a state of disrepair. No new church has been built in the area since Vatican II.

“... surprised that a community would build a brand new church in a region where many churches are unused or in a state of disrepair.”
Well, sure, surprising to the secular world. But unsurprising to informed Catholics if the local bishop is a Bergoglian bully who’d rather burn the old churches down than have them host the traditional Latin Mass that the faithful want.
