A spokesman for Washington National Cathedral says at least three of the four pinnacles on the central tower have fallen off and the central tower appears to be leaning.

The pinnacles are the top stones on the cathedral's towers.

Richard Weinberg, director of communications for the cathedral, said the cathedral has been evacuated and stone masons are assessing the damage.

Considering that the National Cathedral is an edifice of the moribund, perverted, apostate pansexual orgy known as "The Episcopal Church," yes the symbolism is perfect.

You’re not the first to say so...though yours is certainly more colorful ;)

So some stones fell from the cathedral. They fell off of the GOP long before this.

Not his building, it’s Presiding (Un)Bishop Kate’s.

Where will the get the money to fix it? TEC is bleeding members and money. They have wasted untold amounts fighting over property of congregations who want to leave.

It is a very shallow quake...Makes me wonder if something got detonated early??

Hardly early. LOL

...it’s been a long time since the GOP had any stones.
