As Mass was celebrated every day under the cross until the cleanup was complete, in some ways the Cross has a lot more significance.

I'm saying you can't compare the two. The staircase is one of the few parts of the building left the way it was which is why preservationists are involved. The cross is made of steel from the site, but as far as I know it was welded together with debris as a memorial.

These are apples and oranges, and a discussion about preserving the staircase is not helped by a discussion about the cross.
