INSTITUT DU CHRIST ROI SOUVERAIN PRÊTRE strikes again!
Continuing to do surprising things in Wisconsin and Illinois, the Institute of Christ the King (yet another example of France's propensity for spawning inspiring religious orders that take root everywhere but France) has just taken possession of the Church of St. Gelasius, which the Archdiocese of Chicago had been working fevorishly to demolish.
