Comme aux USA, on commence à voir en France une "reactive orthodoxy", c'est-à-dire des gens qui veulent entrer dans l'Église orthodoxe pour des raisons idéologiques. Il y a une très belle mise au point à ce sujet dans la dernière lettre du vicariat français du Patriarcat Œcuménique.

This is the critical thing to recognize about the so-called "abundance" agenda and the entire branch of YIMBYism it represents: Its intellectual foundations are fundamentally antidemocratic. It seeks to use the state to impose cultural consensus - and whose culture? Corporate Silicon Valley's.
