I must say, it looks very nice and there is no evidence of anything gay.

There are some French academics who have an ornate analysis that the Cathedral was gay from its inception. There is no possible way to make it any more gay than it has always been. The homos in Paris are not complaining. They are having another party.

Tastefully done. The English translation of Umberto Ecco’s The Name Of The Rose describes the ideal I have of Catholicism, not that I wish to know more about Catholicism, it’s pretty from a distance.

I don’t think I would like to see Europe from up close, a country like Great Britain today seems like a crowded, claustrophobic place. The ideal of Europe inside my head is good enough. Africa is crowded too, but there are also wiiide open spaces, out on the highways there are open landscapes with no people or houses to be seen for great distances.

No stained-glass BJ’s? I must say I’m disappointed.

If you’re not French, you probably forgot that someone burned down

I hadn’t laughed so hard since mccain died

they should consider it a little payback for burning down a lot of other people’s stuff over the centuries in the name of jewsus

And what became of the asshole who set fire to the place?

It looks brighter (less reverent?) and less Christian than I remember.

Wasn’t Big Mike on a party boat in the Seine yukking it up during the fire? Coincidence, no doubt.

I saw the rising sun shining through the rosette in 1969. It didn’t look like that at all.

One of the things that make this article valuable is that it has already drawn out several members of the anguis in herba subset of white commenters, which works to distract attention from the abundant historical evidence that testifies to the fact that Christianity, not mere whiteness, is the crucial underlying motivator of Jewish hatred.

the place caught fire during some repair work being done by a mostly-Muslim construction crew. Whether they torched it on purpose remains an open question.

Two hundred years ago in the aftermath of the French Revolution, Notre Dame was in such disrepair that it was about to be demolished. The genius architect responsible for saving it, Eugene Viollet-le-Duc, was severely criticized for his choices despite his restoration being authentically medieval. He could sit and accurately draw an entire section of the cathedral in a few hours.

The forces at equilibrium between the upper walls and flying buttresses defied analysis some years ago by a super computer at MIT and yet these structures from the 13th and 14th centuries designed by master masons are still standing so many centuries later. Beyond the genius in stone, master carpentry and advanced wood science was needed to support the stone during construction and assembly the framework of the massive roofs.

What is also amazing and we should all be grateful for is that the skills to put Notre Dame back together again were available in this age of synthetic building materials that look as fake as they are and age about as well as plastic or painted cardboard.

Looks like it will be easy enough to convert into a mosque in the future.

Is it an open question? I’m not so sure. Shortly after the fire began, there were several online videos that looked as if they had been made by people on the scene. I saw two different ones in which the audio content contained repeated shouts of “allahu akbar” coming from men who were clearly participants in the attack on the cathedral. Within a week of the fire, however, both of those videos had had their audio expunged.

Muslims have vandalized and burned so many churches in France that it would seem obvious that in Paris, which is full of violent Muslims and other foreigners, this church was just another in a long line of arson jobs. If the government had said that was indeed what happened, the French might have awakened from their slumber and realized this kind of thing would only continue and the invaders had to go, so they had to be assured it was just “spontaneous combustion” and not a deliberate act.

Still, I can’t rule out worker stupidity. In the 1980s I was at an air base in Germany where the Base Supply warehouse roof was being repaired when the hot tar caught fire and burned the place down. It was made worse by all of the aircraft tires stored inside which burned up too, and you know what tire fires look like. Everything that didn’t get burned up was ruined by the smoke from burning tires.

Nearby was another big building, the base bowling alley. Same thing happened there on another occasion — the tar caught fire and burned it down. Bowling was a popular activity so a smaller bowling alley was set up in another building elsewhere on base. I’m not sure but I think that one burned up as well during its own roof work.

I’d like to think the restoration was motivated by an appreciation of the cathedral’s historical and religious importance. More likely, the French establishment valued it as a tourist magnet. I bet many a visitor checks off Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower (maybe the Louvre — how about that glass pyramid and Mona Lisa?) and goes home thinking they’ve experienced Paris.

How many selfie snappers visit (or have even heard of) the nearby Sainte-Chapelle, an astonishing tour de force of Gothic architecture?

Whatever the motive for Notre Dame’s reconstruction, it’s refreshing to see that the modern world can still go all-out to preserve an important part of its cultural heritage.

Catholic churches all over Europe and North America are vandalized everyday with no explanation and no prosecutions. So we know who is responsible

Deus Vult! I have never been in Notre Dame in Paris and may never go there. However, it is wonderful to see this beautiful Catholic Cathedral restored as a Catholic myself because Catholicism is truly good, beautiful and true. there is much to be grateful for and God bless you all,

Five years to fix the French cathedral. During the early days of Covid, China built a gigantic hospital complex in 5 days. (Disclosure: To be fair… the second huge hospital complex took ten days.)

Nothing gay but you have to look out for freemasonic symbols. You also have to look if they removed some artefacts or replaced something with lower quality artefacts.

It was arson of course, engineers already explained that to set the old oak structures on fire one would need litres of petrol, so it couldn’t be a forgotten cigarette butt or a joker with a lighter.

It could easily have been the work of Muslims or Jews pretending to be Muslims.

But it could also be a freemason plot and as some already wrote it now looks like very clean and fake remade with plastic kind of fake materials removing the soul and religious aspect of the structure.

Which might have been the goal all along, transform THE symbol of Western Christianity into a symbol of new wave religious emptiness that Catholicism has become thanks to its destructors like the false Pope Bergoglio.

Is this supposed to be a Catholic church?

The Inside looks even less ornate than most Reformed Protestant Churches.

Idiot. A multi secular artistic historical building is another thing to deal with. You are so stupid with your Childish Chinese idiocy that it is evident that you are an envious, bitter asian.

The absence of embellishment in the nave is a characteristic feature of the High Gothic style, especially as it is manifested in the great English and French Gothic cathedrals. The design impulses that underlie the creation of the beautifully ornate German and central European Baroque churches of four and five centuries later were offspring of a different theological outlook.

Don’t wait for the 2nd coming. Jesus can be spoken to now! Why not bring an AI Jesus to Notre Dame?

‘AI Jesus’ avatar tests man’s faith in machines and the divine
By JAMEY KEATEN
November 28, 2024

LUCERNE, Switzerland (AP) — Would you trust an “AI Jesus” with your innermost thoughts and troubles?

Researchers and religious leaders on Wednesday released findings from a two-month experiment through art in a Catholic chapel in Switzerland, where an avatar of “Jesus” on a computer screen — tucked into a confessional — took questions by visitors on faith, morality and modern-day woes, and offered responses based on Scripture.

The idea, said the chapel’s theological assistant, was to recognize the growing importance of artificial intelligence in human lives, even when it comes to religion, and explore the limits of human trust in a machine.

After the two-month run of the “Deus in Machina” exhibit at Peter’s Chapel starting in late August, some 900 conversations from visitors –- some came more than once –- were transcribed anonymously. Those behind the project said it was largely a success: Visitors often came out moved or deep in thought, and found it easy to use.

Lesson learned: stay away from buildings undergoing roof work.

A total waste of money, it was a church, let your god fix it

Dear Andrew,

I am very disappointed in your article today, re: who burned down Notre Dame.

“But someone did burn it down, more than five years ago. We never found out who burned it down, and it was ruled to be a spontaneous combustion.”

TOTAL FUCK’N BULLSHIT.

Sand niggers have been burning down churches in Europe for the last 15 years, but we are all supposed to pretend that this was just a fluke and maybe it was “spontaneous combustion”.

Jesus, that is as bad as CNN, or Russian Collusion, or, the most idiotic rant from that nigger Joy Reid.

Shut the fuck up.

Sand niggers, brought by the millions into Europe by white idiots who are insulated against the horrors of Muslim medieval atavistic savagery, are allowed to create NO GO zones and get really rapey when they see a white girl, burned Notre Dame.

That is who did it, we all know it, we are all supposed to pretend that they didn’t but they did.

Yours Very Truly,

Lara Logan

‘ church to rot.

For the record, France is not really as gay as most of the rest of Western Europe.

They might even be less gay than Ireland at this point’

Satanic performance at Paris olympics?

At the beginning, Macron was holding out with the appropriations of money because he wanted the interior to be redone in chartreuse but his husband wanted hot pink. Not wanting to risk causing a divorce over a simple color dispute (with the eventuality that Macron might run away with Justin Trudeau), Brigitte, agreed to no color change. The government funds were appropriated and the church was redone, a marriage was saved and Justin is still lonely, he hasn’t had a meaningful butt relationship in two years.

It’s not Rheims.

Very interesting.

Yeah you could easily have an AI Jesus. The chatbot could base much of it on what he said in the text. “So the Jews, sons of the serpent or what? Lord.”

Good summary. Lincoln cathedral is much the same.

“the place caught fire during some repair work being done by a mostly-Muslim construction crew. Whether they torched it on purpose remains an open question.”

If it were arson or sabotage, it wasn’t very effective and didn’t achieve anything. Muslims unlike Jews, aren’t offended by Christ, they hold him in very high esteem. Working in church devoted to Christ, wouldn’t offend most Muslims, but Jews yes.

It probably was an accident, but if it were sabotage, you can suspect it was directed by the usual group as they are the only ones that truly hate Christ and Christianity.

There was a QAnon theory that suggested it was Trump’s Space Force White Hat Military Patriots who shot Notre Dame with Directed Energy Weapons from the orbit to prevent an Elite Catholic Pedo-Satanist Black Mass were yuge amounts of children were to be tortured, raped, murdered and eaten … one “anon” discovered it by decoding with “Hebrew Gematria” Trump’s Tweet typos, misspellings and his unusual Capitalized Words that are according to QAnoners all “secret COMs” …

@Cloud Posternuke

Indeed, a protestant ‘church’ or a mosq, or a freemasonic temple even…

This might be one of the reasons why the Macron’s regime set it on fire.

We also must remember that at the time of the fire, Macron was in a very difficult situation, about to be toppled by the Yellow Vests revolt and Macron desperately needed something big to shock the nation and distract its attention.

Besides, in term of social engineering, it was also a ‘punishment’ to the ‘peasants’ to dare revolting against their overlords.

This kind of psychological warfare was to be used extensively afterwards during the covid coup.

First time I’ve ever wanted to visit Europe.
If not for the inter-racial rape mural under the Eiffel Tw.
I would.
It’s just so special the fire occurred exactly 777 years after our King Louis
(the St. Louis guy) burned the Talmud in Paris Square.
What an unusual coincidence.

There were proposals to rebuild it as gay in the sense of non-denominational, and secular. Sort of convert it into one of those Unitarian fake churches. However even Macron was forced to back off that plan tout suite.

Thank you.

As it happens, I was thinking of Lincoln and, to a lesser extent, of Salisbury when I wrote the earlier comment. The contrast between the largely unadorned grandeur of Lincoln’s nave and choir and the elaborate detailing of the west facade is breathtaking. For me, Lincoln is in a tie with Reims as the most jaw-dropping Gothic west facade in existence, and Lincoln beats Reims insofar as Lincoln still has more open viewing space around it.

In architectural terms, Lincoln is also one of the few large English Gothic church structures that isn’t a stylistic hodgepodge. (Wells is another, but it dates from about a century later.) By way of contrast, the oldest surviving elements of Durham Cathedral, “completed” around 1200, date from the seventh century. Many other great English and Scottish churches have similar histories. I pass over in silence the many large abbey churches that Henry VIII ordered burned to the ground, sometimes with clergy, nuns, and lay brothers inside.

The list of arson suspects is long:

1/ the Muslims
2/ the freemasons (who hate Christians)
3/ The Jews (same a above)
4/ Macron (for political reasons)

All of the above with Macrons’ regime complicity.

Did St Louis really burn the talmud 777 years ago at the same place? That would give the jews a real motive.

France was the oldest daughter of the church when the church was still really Christian. They launched the crusades, they slammed the jews.

French, Franks and Normans. Tough and strong people. They walk all the way to Jerusalem, they starved, they died, sufferings we can’t comprehend, THEY HAD FAITH.

What we need is a new crusade against the infidels who have colonized our nations (jews included) and the traitors who want our death.

The blood of tyrants and patriots….
