Following the disastrous fire on April 15th, 2019, modern architects started making plans for the new and updated Notre Dame Catholic Cathedral in Paris, France.
This came after President Emmanuel Macron’s prime minister announced there would be a competition in design to rebuild the infamous cathedral.

In May 2019 the French Senate approved the government’s Notre-Dame restoration bill – but added a clause that it must be restored to the state it was before the blaze.
But now it appears the renovators are hoping to turn the historic Catholic Cathedral into a woke theme park with an emphasis on Africa and Asia.
We are witnessing the end of Western culture.
The Daily Mail reported:
Fire-ravaged Notre Dame cathedral is being turned into a ‘woke theme park’ with renovators adding a ‘discovery trail’ and ‘Christianity for dummies’ exhibits, critics have claimed.
Under new plans, confessional boxes, altars and classical sculptures will be scrapped for trendy art murals, with sound and lighting effects creating ’emotional spaces.’
A ‘discovery trail’ will lead visitors through various chapels, with an emphasis on Africa and Asia, and scripture will be beamed onto the walls in various languages, including Mandarin. One of the sanctuaries will even be dedicated to the environment.
Maurice Culot, an award-winning Paris-based architect, told The Telegraph: ‘It’s as if Disney were entering Notre-Dame.
‘What they are proposing to do to Notre-Dame would never be done to Westminster Abbey or Saint Peter’s in Rome. It’s a kind of theme park and very childish and trivial given the grandeur of the place.’

If Francis thought he could get away with it, he would do it to St. Peter's; he's already brought in pagan worship into the Vatican.
Leave it to the French.
The idea of a glass swimming pool on the roof is certainly...well...unexpected.
And sell frog tacos.
Just when I think I know a Babylon Bee title from a news title.
It reminds me of visiting Opryland years ago: a man in an Elvis costume played Chopin's Fantasy Impromptu on an electronic organ during a water and light show. Maybe Notre Dame could do something like that.
What’s next scripture reading replaced with drag queen story hour?!
better it burned down...
Is this a joke article from the Babylon Bee? I can’t believe what I’m reading...
Was there really any doubt that this would happen?
France is, after all, a moslem country these days...
I find myself asking this question about every other news headline I read these days.
Looking at the over all picture I see the Leftist disease, the virus the Left created is much worse than I believe most people realize.
Leftism is far more dangerous than COVID anything, anywhere on this Earth. Mainly because the Left will overreach as they always do, and lose control of their monster. They already have.
Can’t tell if this is real, or just more GP BS.
Whatever happened to UNESCO World Heritage?
Doesn’t seem to be worth protecting anymore if it’s Christian.
The Muslims burned it down just so this would happen.
You and me, both.
The war on the West continues. Everyone wants to come here, but nobody wants to assimilate properly. The left are powerful propagandists too. You know things are bad when even a low number of idiots roam among you and are still allowed to vote. I read an article over at CNSnews about who, “Quinnipiac Poll: Only 4% of Americans Say ‘Climate Change’ is Most Important Problem Facing U.S.”, so give that a look. The Sun is 99.86% of the mass of our solar system and responsible for all weather, energy and climate. Those folks are hardcore Sun deniers. Notice the left isn’t pushing for ‘diversity’ or ‘migration’ for China, India, Mexico, Saudi Arabia or many other non-white founded countries.
