Bishop Fellay Consecrates Biggest PiusX Church And Francis Had a Question

Bishop Bernard Fellay consecrated the Immaculata Church in St Marys, Kansas, on May 3.

With over 1,500 seats, it will be the largest Catholic church in Kansas and the largest PiusX church in the world. It is 40 metres high and over 6,000 square metres.

The style is an approximation of a Roman basilica, somehow neo-Victorian. During the homily (below), Bishop Fellay mentioned that Curia Archbishop Guido Pozzo once approached him and said: “Francis asked me: Where do they have so much money from?”

Fellay replied, “All the buildings that we buy, that we build, they do not come from so much money. They come from the faithful who have the faith.”

The Immaculata Church costs $42M. The cathedral in Los Angeles, arguably the ugliest cathedral in the world, cost $187M.

All new churches are not like this though.

Praying one day it will be a Catholic church. 🙏 🙏

Probably very soon! A formal declaration from a group of Catholic Cardinals or Bishops would be sufficient.

It's more Catholic than all the ones you probably know 😇

What does that even mean?
Rather, pray one day all the churches in Rome that have been desecrated by the Pachamama, pervsex and phony Anglican "services" will be Catholic churches again.More

How very apt that the site of this magnificent new church was originally Jesuit and now it's SSPX. It's almost as if the Divine Providence is trying to tell us something.
