Notre Dame Cathedral on Fire
The Telegraph ^ | 15 APRIL 2019 | David Chazan, Paris James Rothwell

Posted on 04/15/2019 10:33:16 AM PDT by Attention Surplus Disorder

Notre Dame cathedral has caught fire, according to the Parisian fire service and eyewitnesses.

Footage posted online shows a large fire engulfing the upper part of the cathedral, with the flames licking around its two bell towers.

A major operation was under way, the fire department added, while a city hall spokesman said on Twitter that the area was being cleared.

Officials in Paris said the fire could be linked to renovation works being carried out at the cathedral.

It comes after France's Saint Sulpice church , used in the filming of Dan Brown’s ‘Da Vinci Code’ thriller, caught fire in March.

Lordy. Looks gutted except for the stone. From what I understand...the stone was placed later after the wood.

I recommend using steel ceiling joists and/or trusses. Hello? a sprinkler system?

No call at all for the sanctimoniousness.

I didn’t see (Catholic Caucus) in the thread title, so ALL views are welcome on this one.

There is a group of people singing hymns at the fire site.

Covered live on RT.

My guess is that the woke western media would not allow this audio.

That’s why more and more I watch RT when things like this happen.

It couldn’t have spread that fast without accelerants. They actually renovated a lot of this several years ago (I contributed to it and then the last few times I have been in Paris and gone to Notre Dame, I would hear the guides pointing this out to people).

The French government will never admit it, but it was terrorism and while it was planned for the start of Holy Week, it wasn’t directed only at Christians but at all of Western civilization. Notre Dame was symbolic of this, and if you studied art and art history, as I did, you’d know that this is definitely in the 9/11 category in terms of striking at a symbol.




I agree that accellerants were used. Once the French Fire Department Investigators make that determination, we will have "the HOW."

From "the HOW," the next step is to determine "the WHO."

The French Fire Department might not be wedded to political correctness like it is with elected politicians. We can pray that they hold Notre Dame in such high esteem that only the truth about her destruction must be revealed.

I want to know whether those in charge had suspended all restoration starting tomorrow because of Holy Week. Last day to destroy the church.

Can’t recall on which thread someone doubted that daily services continued at Notre Dame. A quick search shows...

SERVICES SCHEDULED DURING THE WEEK
You can attend Mass at Notre Dame during the week, from Monday to Saturday.

Every Monday morning at 8AM, a Mass takes place in the choir. If you wake up later, you can also attend 9AM Mass (except during the months of July, August, and the first 15 days of September).

Every weekday and on Saturdays at 12PM, Mass takes place at the main altar.

You can also attend Vespers at 5:45PM, from Monday to Saturday. It is followed by Mass at 6:15PM at the main altar (6:30PM on Saturdays).

SUNDAY SERVICES SCHEDULE
A series services takes place in the Cathedral on Sundays:

8:30AM: Mass
9:30AM, Lauds service (morning hymns service)
10AM: Gregorian Mass
11:30AM: International Mass
12:45PM: Mass
5:45PM: Vespers
6:30PM: Mass generally presided over by the archbishop of Paris, an important moment for any Catholics visiting Paris.

You’d better contact the builders and architects with your revolutionary ideas. They would never do that without your advice..

I appreciate Mom MD not following up—while this is not a caucus thread, I’d hope that common decency would prevail, and thus everyone would recognize that there are some views that would be entirely inappropriate to express on this thread.

They’re literally burning a cross.

Many of the Medieval German churches were built in the shape of a cross. It is not necessarily obvious unless one knows what to look for.
