Dear God no that’s one of the most beautiful churches in the world :frowning_face_with_open_mouth:
 
I’ve always wanted to visit. It and Lourdes. I hope the fire gets under control and the cathedral restored to its former splendor.
 
Heartbreaking. The video clip brought tears to my eyes. Prayers for Paris and Notre Dame!
 
I was just watching this at work.

That cathedral is the reason I’m an architect…

Hopefully they are able to rebuild once it’s all done… At least no one was killed based on the reports I’m seeing. Thank God for that.
 
So very sad. Praying for all those who are fighting the fire and the workers.
 
I’m heartbroken. I had one of the most profoundly spiritual experiences of my life in Notre Dame. I pray it can be brought back to its glory. 😦
 
Completely heartbroken. It cannot be rebuilt, not as the same as it was.
 
On another website people are speculating that it was arson. The scaffolding would afford easy access to an arsonist, they say, but I don’t think they have any real evidence.

Huh? That’s not the point. The point is that I have respect for religion, particularly Christian and most particularly Catholic religion. Some of my friends don’t. They have respect for a building.

That’s about as worldly as one can get.

I don’t see anything insulting about it. You’re the one hurling an insult on the thread.
 
Wow, I have a totally different reaction. First just shock. And second, to imagine that non-Catholic tourists can no longer experience the beauty of our faith while visiting… Devastating.
