“The secular government of France owns all the cathedrals in the country. Are they then not sacred?”

In my opinion? No, they are not sacred. They are just buildings. But that doesn’t mean that Holy things can’t happen inside them.

They are consecrated buildings on consecrated ground. The sacraments take place in them. Saints are buried within them. They’re sacred. Opinion has nothing to do with it.
