The German Capuchins have decided to ruin their church St Konrad, which is located in the world-famous Bavarian pilgrimage place of Altötting, Germany.
On June 19th they started what they call a "renovation". It will cost around two million Euros and will be finished in April 2018.
The Provincial superior of the friars, Father Marinus Parzinger, explained in the Altöttinger Liebfrauenbote, that the church was already spoiled of her [beautiful] side altars during a reconstruction between 1953 and 1956.
He explains that this reconstruction was not yet done according to the guidelines of Second Vatican Council, which will happen now.
After, the church will have the charm of a crematory hall, which will properly reflect the state of the Church in Germany and of the German Capuchins in particular.

"A crematory Hall" - yes, it doesn't look like a place many would want to visit. So stark, ugly, and sterile!
