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.

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

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.
