I would like to have sources on that, because the only thing I find about consecration of a church is that the building can never be used for anything else than a church after the consecration (Orthodox) and the Catholic encyclopedia is speciffic on that all churches doesn't need to be consecrated. Parish churches must be consecrated though. Oratories have even weaker demands of consecration.
That is a demographic idea based on that a smaller population needs to support a growing part of post-retirement population.
