Notre Dame Cathedral is burning down...

Re: Notre Dame Cathedral is burning down...

I'm not thrilled that Sniffles is pledging my tax dollars to helping restore a church in another country. Maybe help rebuild Puerto Rico or get Flint some water.

It's not a church, it's a world heritage site. Notre Dame is way bigger than Jesus.

If only there was an omnipotent being who could have prevented it.

He is a loving omnipotent being that wanted to prove a point, that's why no one was killed or seriously injured.

Trump needs to get a laundry detergent sponsorship. MAGA is just cover for making whites whiter.

Right. What were the rows of wooden seats called again? Oh yeah.

pew
/pyo͞o/
noun
plural noun: pews
a long bench with a back, placed in rows in the main part of some churches to seat the congregation.
an enclosure or compartment containing a number of seats, used in some churches to seat a particular worshiper or group of worshipers.

What say we help Puerto Rico or Flint first.

ETA: the name of the freaking thread is "Notre Dame CATHEDRAL is burning down..."

No. We can always make more Puerto Ricans and Michiganers. There is only one Notre Dame.

Nah. He was p*ssed they were going to use Maple to replace some of the Oak timbers in the roof. That whole "never mix two different threads" scripture...

God got confused. He was trying to have Pence's back against Mayor Pete.

Not a single dime of American taxpayer money should be going towards it, but here we are.

France is wealthy, the Vatican is wealthy - they can handle it just fine.

Re: Notre Dame Cathedral is burning down...

It's a privilege to be part of the rebuild, not a burden. FFS for once we're spending money on something that isn't designed to maim children. Physically. I'm fine with my $10 or whatever going to it -- it's much less than what I'll donate privately.

Being a tiny part of the history of that cathedral? F-ck yes, I'm in!

There are even Puerto Rican Michiganders out there...

BUT, with all due respect, can we put the stuff dumpy pledges to the presidential thread, and keep this one on Notre Dame Cathedral? I'm not a Catholic, and I abhor the idea of our tax dollars going to another country to rebuild a church (for so many reasons, it is its own thread), but I also think the Cathedral is a very important building that has done a huge amount to shape our society- in good and bad ways.

So let's keep focused here, people.

FYI, since 1905, the French Government owns all the cathedrals. The municipalities own the village churches.
