Why is the media not actually covering what is happening in France? The eradication of western self representative governance, individualism, ethos of churches, statues, art, free speech. Public safety, rule of law, western intellectual heritage of empirical research, evidence based objective journalism,

The "beating heart of Catholicism in France" was damaged. It's almost symbolic of something.

[deborahhenry]

It is symbolic for sure...possibly symbolic for the attack and fall of Christianity. Just my take on it.

[Tysongranger]

Seriously never been to paris but read Victor Hugo's novels and loved them
The hunch back of Notre Dame is somewhat the memory how I'll always remember the Church...

I don't understand how a leading world power acted worser than a 3rd world nation in protecting one of its architectural marvels

Wow it's a pity that something happened there that you have to "Pray" for Notre Dame Cathedral 🇫🇷 World Heritage for its early recovery and thanks to all those who have the possibility to help their speedy recovery 🙏🏼

Wow es una pena que allá sucedido algo así hay que “ Orar “ por Notre Dame Cathedral 🇫🇷 Patrimonio Mundial para su recuperación pronta y gracias a todos aquellos que tienen la posibilidad de ayudar a su pronta recuperación 🙏🏼

The church's will not be jam packed. The Catholic churches have taken to selling palms on Palm Sunday. Not trying to be mean; but, God is trying to tell you something. And I am Catholic.

Andrew tallon laser scanned the entire cathedral about 5 years ago . Canda said if the cathedral was scanned via laser it would possible to rebuild the way it was originally built. CBS needs to vet the ppl they get info from .

[Leebpascal]

Such amateurism here. The cathedral never hosts the coronation of a king of France, except Henri VI of England during the hundred years war but he was never recognized as Charles VII was already crowned, 2 years before, in Reims, like nearly all the others kings of France.

[AlyMolly]

French kings were not crowned in Notre Dame but in Reims...

[sherryviera]

Government set it on fire to get those donations. Blame it on Muslims added benefit.

[ekaterini]

Of course this happened at holy week. God's timing is perfect timing. This will bring how many sheep back to Him? God have mercy on us. He will bring all to the good for his children.

[GenIus-zmqf]

it's just a building, your faith is not in anyway damaged, i just don't get the issue here

[jhordyjimenez]

theyh should rebuild it as a mosque to symbolize france's new diverse culture.

[sanapadsense]

Calm down, it's just a fire like this happens every day all over the world, apparently it's an accident caused by a worker's mistake nothing more, it will be rebuilt and it will be more beautiful.

Very peculiar, hundred of church & art desecration’s in France. Two people convicted of explosive attacks. 220000 from Left & other faiths recorded celebrating online during first 2 hours. Heartbreaking to watch this negligence & national obliteration .
