When Notre Dame was mysteriously set on fire in 2019, few Catholics could have imagined a scenario worse than seeing the historic cathedral in flames.
Yet it appears as though France’s Modernists have had other ideas, with their plans to wreck Notre Dame proving more horrifying than losing the church itself.
In a shocking exclusive from The Telegraph, it has been revealed that Modernists will perform vicious iconoclastic wreckovation on the historic church, as has been done to deter millions from the faith in the West over the past half century. The destruction of the church’s Catholic heritage will include:
Removing Confessionals
Sound and Light Effects
Ugly Modern Art
‘Emotional Spaces’
Scrapping of Traditional Altar and Statues
In boasting of these plans, Paris Archbishop Michael Aupetit stated:
bring the Cathedral into the 21st Century while preserving its own identity in the spirit of the Christian Tradition.
Media reports this week have suggested that Aupetit is under investigation after reports of a ‘relationship’ with a woman emerged, which he readily admits were ‘suggesting the existence between us of an intimate relationship and sexual relations’.
He has today submitted his resignation to Pope Francis after admitting to having had an ‘ambiguous’ relationship with the woman in 2012. No wonder he wanted to get rid of confessionals!
The man who he entrusted to to carry out the plans, Father Gilles Drouin, must now do the right thing and step aside from the project also. Father Drouin said of the wreckovation plans:
let's take the opportunity to reread the space. With a clear principle: we want a place that is liturgical and open to all.
French Traditionalism has been organised, vocal and effective in recent years. It must raise its voice to stop this architectural terrorism from mocking the memories of the generations who worked on Notre Dame for centuries. A renovation aimed at renewing faith rather than taking it as an abstract pretext for architectural experimentation could work wonders for the faith in France and for wider French society.
It is quite remarkable architect Maurice Culot has seen the plans and has had the good sense to call them ‘Disney entering Notre Dame….very childish and trivial given the grandeur of the place’.
If only the clerics who have given the go ahead for such clerical monstrosities over the past half century could see things through Monsieur Culot’s eyes.
