“The method of Fabien Verdier and Julien Cohen left us silent. Contacts and meetings took place between them from the month of December without me or another member of the Church being informed ”, exclaims the bishop of Chartres, Mgr Philippe Christory. TV host Julien Cohen plans to buy the walls of the Madeleine church in Châteaudun to open a 3rd second-hand dealer.
“It is not a dormant church”
“French law is clear, the church is assigned to worship and even if the town maintains it, it cannot sell it. And then this church, it serves regularly. “This is confirmed by Cécile Villain, responsible for communication at the diocese of Chartres:” About twenty celebrations took place there between Easter and All Saints’ Day, in 2021 “.
