“...that Notre Dame cathedral was like a gift to the human species”
A gift FROM whom?
The architects?
The endowment (Church) that funded its creation and construction?
The Creator who inspired Man to build a cathedral to provide awe and inspiration to the congregation and servants of the Lord in the Church?
