Technological Novelty Masquerades as Sacred Space in Czech “Church” Project
Catholic News Agency reports (January 8, 2026) on plans to construct what would become the world’s largest 3D-printed “church” in Neratovice, Czech Republic – a town originally conceived by communists as deliberately church-free. The proposed structure, designed by architect Zdeněk Fránek with an estimated cost exceeding $8 million, features an “ark-like” design with green roofs and rainwater irrigation systems. The Archdiocese of Prague oversees the project through its Neratovice Community Center Foundation, promoting the venture as an architectural innovation that will “put Czechia back on the architectural map.” This technological spectacle epitomizes the conciliar sect’s abandonment of sacred tradition for modernist experimentation.
