The Takeover: Traditionalist Priests Seize Control
This chapter discusses the takeover of a church in France by traditionalist priests in the 1970s. The diocese was unable to remove them because the churches in France are owned by the government, and the police showed sympathy towards the priests. The chapter explores how the anti-Catholic laws in France actually worked in favor of the traditionalists, allowing them to remain in control of the church to this day.
