Even the lefty Newsweek reported this:

https://www.newsweek.com/spate-attacks-catholic-churches-france-sees-altars-desecrated-christ-statue-1370800

In the middle of those types of attacks, this happens?

It’ll take the Islamic State or some nutjob group taking ‘credit’ for it for the MSM to admit it.

I'm not Catholic nor am I of French decent but this is a horrible loss for all Christendom and history buffs of all stripes.

It may never be rebuilt.

The original Cathedral took over 250 years and whole forests to build it. It would take Billions to just rebuild. And the artwork will never be replaced.

There are no forests in Europe to replace the timbers used to support the roof and towers none.

We are witnessing a passing of a era.

(Hats off in reverence)

But they’ll certainly tell you that it was renovations, you know them not having any cause

I am sorry to hear about your French born priest, mine has no problem when he goes home and into the City of Paris.

Latin Mass is offered at ND at least once a year for the pilgrimage to Chartres.

It’s very telling that the media reports on this story describe Notre Dame as a tourist attraction, not a sacred religious building. I wonder if the place had any religious value at all anymore. France hasn’t been Catholic in more than 200 years.

When I was there three years ago, it was clear that it was an active religious building. Mass was celebrated there daily, and great care was made to remind visitors that it was a church. Besides the many signs, I'm sure no one can forget the frequent announcements of "Silence".

Someone was calling in (eyewitness) to Shep Smith and said, “I know this isn’t politically correct but...” And Shep cut them off and wouldn’t let them continue. Guess it was the Muslims celebrating.

The socialist fire department didnt show up. They were arguing over the shift change and who had to work. The French will go to great lengths to not reveal the truth that this was a muslim attack but I expect a claim of responsibility very soon by Isis. Listen for that . They repeatedly targeted it and it was Easter Week.It was sabotage and you will never convince me otherwise.
