Collegiale Notre-Dame de Dole, Dole

The collegiate church of Notre-Dame de Dole in the Jura was built in the 16th century. It then replaced an earlier church that was destroyed in 1479 when the city was razed to the ground by the troops of the King of France Louis XI, when he intended to take Franche-Comté after the disappearance of Charles the Bold, last sovereign duke of Burgundy.… Reconstruction works began in 1509, the new building was intended to somehow symbolize the renewal of the city.

Yes, beautiful. But yet another disgraceful monument to the greed and avarice of the Catholic church. Where's the charity? Where's the love? People dying and starving with poverty all over the world, but money flying around the Vatican. Disgusting. They make me sick.
