That's not a f*cking curch. That's a supercomputer named MareNostrum 5, which was inaugurated a few weeks ago: https://www.bsc.es/es/marenostrum/marenostrum-5

And the 5 is because there were 4 other supercomputers before it.

Why would they call it "our sea"?

You may have to ask them, but it may have something to do with it being located in Barcelona, besides the Mediterranean sea that the romans called Mare Nostrum, and the factt hat it's a public infrastructure accessible for a lot of institutions, instead of a private one, making it also a bit more "ours" or nostrum.

But I'm just speculating.
