For generations, Notre Dame has been a place of pilgrimage and prayer, and, even as religion in France has declined for decades, it remained the beating heart of French Catholicism, open every day for Mass.
“Outside of St. Peter’s Basilica (in Vatican City) I don’t think there’s a more iconic church for Catholics. I don’t think there are any Catholics who visit Paris and don’t pray or go to Mass at Notre Dame.”
Cardinal Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster in England, called the cathedral “the heart of the faith” in Europe.
“Who is not deeply moved at the sight of this great Cathedral in flames?” he tweeted. For the people of Paris this is a disaster that touches their very soul."
