L’Eglise catholique romaine de France fragilisée par le confinement
- December 2020
The health crisis of 2020 caused the total or partial closure of places of worship for several months. This has had a significant impact on the Roman Catholic Church in France, which announced that in 2020 it has suffered a "real financial shock", recording a 30 to 40% drop in its resources. The "denier du culte", the financial participation of the faithful collected during religious services, constitutes an important part of the resources of this Church.
See the press release of the Conférence des évêques de France (French Bishops’ Conference), and an article in Le Monde.
