A musical group called "Les Chrétiens des Alpes" (Christians of the Alps) filmed a YouTube video in the church of Saint-Étienne in Dingy-Saint-Clair, which portrays priests in a sexually vulgar manner.

It is unclear how the group got permission to use the church for filming. The video was published on YouTube by "Paroissiens Outragés" (Parishioners Outraged).
