Obviously an anti-Christian hate crime, from the home city of The One. /MSM homosexual lobby jumping to conclusions mode>

Cheers!

It's coming through the roof in at least 2 places, and this was earlier this morning.
Anything more recent anywhere?

Foxnews.com says “watch live” trying to see if the stream is indeed live or what was recorded earlier.
well, I can’t get it to load anything, and I have to get back to work.

Cool cathedral. Incredible woodwork on the ceiling and everywhere.

Was in the Untouchables movie of Sean Connery.

Backdrop for a lot of gangster activity.

Hope it gets saved.

There’s also a big palestinian community there as well.

They just reported that the fire is under control now. It started in the roof and the fire was contained to that area, but there’s massive water damage inside. There were about 10 people in the building when the fire started (probably coming in for early Mass, I imagine).

Well, glad to hear it is under control. It looked bad coming through the roof like that.

I guess it could have been much worse, but what a shame!
