ApexNomad Posted December 1 Posted December 1 4 hours ago, MikeBiDude said: I wonder if they will charge those which to attend Mass there vs. tourists? It will be interesting to see how this plays out. The fee for entry has sparked backlash from the Catholic Church, which argues that charging for access to a religious space contradicts the values of accessibility and inclusivity. The issue is further complicated by France’s 1905 law on secularism, which prohibits charging for visits to religious sites. The Church has also raised concerns about the difficulty of distinguishing between tourists and worshippers, a distinction the fee would create. They argue that enforcing this could harm the cathedral’s mission to remain open to all. MikeBiDude and + Vegas_Millennial 1 1
pubic_assistance Posted December 2 Posted December 2 "France’s Catholic church, however, remains strongly attached to the principle of free access for all"... I was just in Strasbourg. They charged 5 euros to enter the Cathedral Notre Dame de Strasbourg (also Catholic). So I don't think this statement is completely accurate. Personally, I think it should be a voluntary donation so parishioners can just enter freely. Same as the Metropolitan Museum in NYC. New York City residents pay what they wish.
