In the next 40 years it will be attacked another 40 times or more.

Get rid of the Muslims, it’s the only way to preserve Western Civilization.

“Watching the spire on fire fall in real time is something that, as a medieval art historian, I could barely stomach,” Guerry said.“
Odd…that spire is from the 19th century.

I still don’t think that France’s islamists are going to take the restoration of the Christian cathedral well at all.

If the Islamists don’t like it, they can leave! I know, wishful thinking.

Interesting.

Does 3D printing honor God, or does building it in the traditional technology of the times honor God?

That would be the Sacrada Familia. I’m surprised at the 40-year estimate. I was thinking something like a century. It took 2 centuries to build and while we have technology, in some cases the skills needed to build it have been lost to time. The stained glass comes to mind.

The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago. The second best time is now.
