The famed Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France was engulfed in flames on Monday leading to the collapse of the structure's main spire. The intense flames leaped out from two of its bell towers minutes before the spire collapsed, and later spread to one of the cathedral's iconic rectangular towers.

Yes you are correct. A lot of Freepers are crappers on Catholicism. Long ago we could blame it on ignorance, but no longer. People can study it and history and learn the truth. And with an attitude of good will, convert or at least tolerate.

Watch for massive mosques to go up in flames too!!! This was the straw that broke the camel’s back I’m afraid!

Notre Dame has been undergoing extensive renovation and the fire has apparently started in the area of the renovation. One can see the scaffolding around the outside of the nave. I’m holding judgement on to how or who it started, for now.

I’d be curious as to what is going on in the banlieues of Paris tonight.

I keep reading about these renovations but some of us know who have visited over a 25 year period that it is always undergoing renovations - in fact, I’ve stuck a few francs and then Euros into the little donation boxes set up for the purpose of renovations. So why suddenly a fire? Why not 20 years ago? What’s changed if anything?

No, an oxidizer was used, apparently, on a cloth, to wipe them clean. Bleach(bit), maybe.

<< Catholic Church is crapped on a dozen times a day here on FR. <<

That's true, I've heard numerous FReepers say flat out that Catholics aren't Christians. Well good thing no "Christian" churches in France have been damaged at all. < / sarcasm >

The atheist Mayor of Paris is just so saddened, because of the tourist revenue.

Amazing, we can split the atom and launch things into outer space but giants fires.....not much we can do.

Renovations in progress make an arson attack much easier to carry out, there are a lot of unknown people around and an arsonist can easily blend in with workers.

Yep. The cathedral's structure is pretty difficult to damage - unless you can get up to the roof - where all the flammable bits are located. Perfect opportunity.

No, no, you got it all wrong. It was Quasimodo up there in the rafters smoking a cigarette that started it.

Even if it was accident, somebody’s butt should go to prison for a long time. It’s 700 year old Notre Dame cathedral, you think they’d be a little careful. But I don’t think it was an accident.

It may seem like they are numerous because they post the same old BS so often but

there really are only six five of them.
