		<description><![CDATA[The service at one Roman Catholic Church in Quebec is about to get a lot less boring. The church, which has been on the real estate market for two years, was recently purchased by a developer who is going to gut the building and convert it to a rock climbing gym. But church officials aren&#8217;t too worried about the changes.
According to Archbishop Roger Ébacher:
<blockquote>&#8220;Jesus liked to have fun, &#8230; <a href="http://www.wendmag.com/blog/2009/12/30/catholic-church-becomes-rock-climbing-gym/" class="read_more">Read the rest</a></blockquote><div id="yarpp-wrapper">

The <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/canada/ottawa/story/2009/12/26/church-sold.html">church</a>, which has been on the real estate market for two years, was recently purchased by a developer who is going to gut the building and convert it to a rock climbing gym.

<p>According to Archbishop Roger Ébacher:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Jesus liked to have fun, when he walked into the temple and started teaching the high priests, so he was having fun. So I&#8217;m pretty sure the people that are going to come into this church for recreational activities, I&#8217;m sure the Lord will be watching from above and say, &#8216;Yeah, I like this.&#8217; &#8220;</p></blockquote>
