In the April 30th issue of The Remnant Newspaper, the week after Notre Dame burned and amid rumors of coming glass roofs and “modernists monstrosities”, Michael Matt wrote the following:
And if we’re to make an educated conjecture on what will happen to Notre Dame in Paris, perhaps we should look to Notre Dame de Chartres (also UNESCO World Heritage Site) which for the past ten years has been undergoing one of the greatest state-sponsored restoration projects in Europe. The state will restore Notre Dame in all of her glory, perhaps just in time for the post-Novus Ordo victory party when she will become ours again. In France the churches are all state-owned; so this is hardly mere wishful thinking.”
We’re delighted to report that this is exactly what is going to happen:
The French Senate voted to approve plans to rebuild Notre Dame Cathedral and added a clause stipulating that it must be restored to how it was before the fire.
There has been controversy surrounding the restoration of the centuries old church, which was gutted by a massive fire last month. Some have called for the Notre Dame to be rebuilt exactly as it was, while others have pushed to add more modern elements to the Parisian landmark.
The Senate approved the bill Monday which would have the Notre Dame restored before Paris hosts the 2024 summer Olympics, but added that the cathedral must be rebuilt to its “last known visual state.”
The additional language is a rebuff of the government, which had launched an international architecture competition soliciting ideas for the Notre Dame’s redesign. The Senate also removed a clause that would have given the government the power to override planning regulations.”
Nothing about a glass roof or, my favorite conspiracy theory, a swimming pool on the roof of Notre Dame (what internet detective conjured up that gem?).
And the best part? French President Marcon—who declared the fire a national emergency and then freaked out quite a few Catholics and art history enthusiasts with his overzealous international architects competition that seemed open to modern innovations—won’t have power to veto this new legislature even if he wanted to.
The rebuild will be completed within the promised five years, and by 2024 Notre Dame will stand exactly as we remember her in 2019. Thank God!
First the different government bodies have to agree on the rebuilding plan. That alone could take five years!
BTTT and praying that this is true.
It will be faithfully restored when it is permanently rid of the Novus Ordo.
Well one good sign was that the high altar remained unscathed, while the Novus Ordo supper table was destroyed.
Agreed
How many minarets will it have?
And it's not just France. It's the entirety of Europe, including Great Britain. Especially Great Britain.
Within 30-40 years, all of Europe will be overpopulated and run by Muslims. Sharia law will prevail and abided.
Christians and other non-believers will convert or be exterminated. Notre Dame and other Christian churches will be burned to the ground.
The native fertility rates for all of the countries of Europe are below the minimum rates needed to sustain their lifestyles and culture for very long.
In order for a culture to maintain itself for 25 years, there must be a fertility rate of 2.00 or higher or the culture will decline.
Historically, no culture has ever come back from a 1.9 fertility rate. A rate of 1.3 is impossible to reverse, because it would require 80-100 years to reverse itself. And there is no economic model that could sustain a culture for that length of time.
As of 2007, France's fertility rate was 1.8, England 1.6, Germany and Greece 1.3, Italy 1.2 and Spain 1.1. All rates are below that needed to sustain the historical cultures of these countries. But Muslim fertility rates in France are 8.1. See where this is headed?
Euroislamistan. Paris will be the new Mecca of the West.
Very interesting. Is there a document that you can share about this? It would be a great post...
For a second there I thought this was a college football thread.
Really? It’s almost June, what colleges are playing football now?
Oh you’re no fun, any more.
I used data from the linked video.
Our problems are not socialism or climate change. It's declining fertility rates among western nations and a converse increase in fertility rates among Muslims.
