Kabu I am totally with you on this.....but

 

Reports coming from France include:

After all, in today’s Paris, Muslims already make up the majority of people who go to a house of worship at least once a week, n’est-ce pas?

And given the way that these things work in most of Western Europe nowadays, it seems a foregone conclusion – barring some powerful, persuasive, and unprecedented movement to the contrary – that the voices that prevail as this project goes forward will be those arguing that the new Notre Dame must be a Notre Dame (although of course, something needs to be done about that name) for the twenty-first century, for an increasingly non-Christian Paris, for an era of fundamental transformation in regard to matters spiritual.

Why, after all, resurrect a cathedral that was already mainly a museum, a tourist mecca, a reminder of dead glories, when you can replace it with a spectacular mosque that will be a living place of worship for armies of believers....

Never doubt the power in numbers......

The Boy-Toy President of France won't get involved....the issue is all of the  Cathedrals, monuments, etc. are not under the control of the Vatican.  They are considered properties of the state.  They are already considering building a modern building and it will be open to multiple religions...catch my drift?"

I agree 100 % with you...but we're not in charge......

never mind that it is an ancient Christian site ... About all the living history that we can gaze at is art. That cathedral is a work of art. A building filled with what a thousand years of European history??? i do believ that money is pouring in to restore her.
