Rebuilt Norcia Basilica: Modernist Subversion of Sacred Space
Portal Catholic News Agency reports the October 2025 reopening of the Basilica of St. Benedict in Norcia, Italy, destroyed in a 2016 earthquake. The article emphasizes “antipope” Leo XIV’s congratulatory message and “archbishop” Renato Boccardo’s dedication homily stressing “community” and “merciful society.” The reconstruction cost €15 million, using original materials while adding earthquake-resistant features. Benedictine monks displaced by the quake now reside at the nearby “Abbey” of San Benedetto in Monte, known for beer brewing. This celebration of architectural restoration conceals grave doctrinal subversion.
