The parish of Quimper, Brittany, announced in September that the Fraternity of Saint Peter (FSSP) would be evicted from the central church of Saint-Matthieu.
In these times of ecclesiastical ecologism, its 250 faithful (500 in summer) will have to travel 15km north-west to a less visible church, not served by public transport, on the outskirts of Quimper.
There are only 1,300 believers in Quimper (63,000 inhabitants), including Latin Mass Catholics.
The pretext for the eviction: There will be a Saturday evening Eucharist at Saint-Matthieu's – while the FSSP uses the church every day.
PaixLiturgique.org (November 30) quotes a Catholic who attends Mass and also takes part in the Eucharist, “They don't give a damn about Saint Matthieu's. Once the FSSP is gone, it will go back to the way it was before, which is to say empty and dirty.”
And: “What really annoys the parish of the centre of Quimper is that the Mass attracts young people, of whom there aren't so many anymore.”
