It seems that Christianophobia”is having a hey date in France.
”The Saint Peter and Saint Paul cathedral of Nantes, in the west of France, was ravaged by a violent fire this Saturday morning. The blaze caused severe damage to the inside of the late-Gothic building, completely destroying a beautiful and monumental baroque organ built in the 17th century. It had survived the French Revolution, two world wars, and the fire that destroyed the roof of Nantes cathedral in 1972. Fifteen months after the fire that destroyed the roof and spire of Notre Dame cathedral in Paris, this new tragic conflagration is leading many Catholics to ask whether “is not to blame for the increase of such incidents."
Many Catholics believe that the fire was caused by arson.
Philippe de Villiers, a former presidental candidate, said: “The fire in Nantes Cathedral, after that of Notre-Dame of Paris, should make our elites reflect on the present great disorder and great upheaval. De-civilization is underway. During lockdown, the churches were closed. Now they are burning.”
