The "Other" Chartres Pilgrimage

The untrained eye would not be able to tell the difference, but these are the Scouts of Doran (formerly the Catholic Scouts of France), who are under the spiritual care of the Society of St Pius X (SSPX). Sicne the Society is no longer on speaking terms with most of the rest of the Catholic Church (and now is not the place to apportion blame - apart from to say it was mostly the fault of Pope John Paul II), they actually organise an alternative Whitsun "Chartres Pilgrimage" each years, starting at the famous Masonic Cathedral and then heading off to Paris or Montmartre or somewhere.

The little boy at the end of the first group, talking to the priest, is making his confession. Spiritual relief! The ones from the third group who are vanishing into the woods and reappearing again are I fancy relieving themselves in quite a different manner.
