Church of Montenach, France. Built between 1884 and 1886, it survived two world wars and was devastated by a fire on Sunday.
The numbers, cold as gravestones, speak clearly: dozens of churches are destroyed by fire every year, while other places of worship enjoy an inexplicable immunity. These are not meteorological accidents or random electrical faults. It is a pattern that challenges our ability to name reality without euphemisms.
The elites in Paris and Brussels, barricaded in their intellectual salons, prefer not to see, but the citizen smells the acrid odor of a planned dissolution.
