Bellaigue updates?
« on: July 06, 2026, 03:14:50 PM »
Is Notre-Dame de Bellaigue still with the Resistance?
I've read some vague rumours about Don Placide stepping down, a letter of resignation, etc.
Also, there's the weird news of the "disappearance" and finding of a Bellaigue monk.
What's happening over there?

''...missing religious from this Puy-de-Dôme monastery remains untraceable Since Wednesday morning, the gendarmes have deployed a major effort to find a religious from the Benedictine monastery of Virlet. So far, investigations have been unsuccessful. The circuмstances of this disappearance are not yet known.

Depuis mercredi matin, les gendarmes déploient des efforts importants pour retrouver un religieux du monastère de Virlet, dont la disparition leur a été signalée. Leur dispositif a été renforcé par des moyens aériens le premier jour. Aujourd'hui jeudi, les militaires étaient encore sur place. Pour l’heure, tous les efforts sont restés vains.

''...Since Wednesday morning, the gendarmes have been making significant efforts to find a monk from the Virlet monastery, whose disappearance was reported to them. Their device was reinforced by air assets on the first day. Today, Thursday, the soldiers were still on site. So far, all efforts have been in vain.

“We have absolutely no idea what could have happened. We still have no information,” explained Christine Boizard, the mayor of the town, this Thursday morning. What circuмstances? Apart from the fate of the missing person, several questions remain unanswered. Starting with the circuмstances that led to this event. On site, taking care not to say too much, brothers Grégoire and Nicolas, monks within the monastery, argue that “the person would not necessarily have left of their own accord”.

Said monk has since been found, but suspiciously no details were shared. From GloriaTV:

"A 29-year-old monk from the independent Abbey of Notre-Dame de Bellaigue in central France, who had been missing since Tuesday evening, was found safe on Friday.

The Benedictine-inspired community in Virlet, in the Puy-de-Dôme department, was formerly affiliated with the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX). It aligned in 2019 with the movement associated with Bishop Richard Williamson.

French gendarmes launched a search operation on Wednesday morning, deploying ground teams and aerial resources to locate the missing religious.

According to LaMontagne.fr, the monk was found alive and without apparent injuries near Limoges, approximately 170 kilometers (105 miles) west of the monastery.

Authorities have not disclosed how the monk came to be so far from the monastery or the circuмstances surrounding his disappearance. They have released no information suggesting criminal involvement, nor have they indicated whether he left voluntarily or experienced a medical or psychological emergency."
