The Cathedral of Notre Dame is Burning

The evil tyrant Napolean restored Notre Dame. It was in worse shape then than it is now.Notre Dame has something of a dark past: It's where that evil tyrant Napoleon was crowned emperor on Sunday 2nd December 1804.
The first photo of the cathedral was taken in 1838:
The French Revolution was particularly tough on institutions like that. I wouldn't doubt that some of the revolutionarys would have contemplated burning it down in 1790.
I suppose the same question might apply to people, cells die and are replaced. Are we the same person?
The Public Prosecutor in France is desperately trying to characterize the ND blaze as workplace accident rather than arson, presumably to maintain peace in the community of Paris.
This despite protestations from the work crews that they used intensive safety precautions, including disconnecting all electricity to the site, when they left for the evening. AND despite the fact that this happened very quickly after the last tourists left the building. AND most importantly after a swath of Church arsons in France, including at the Church of Saint-Sulpice which caused 100's of millions in damage.
I think the most likely cause of this was arson by a very sophisticated arsonist or group of arsonists. That means all of France's Cathedrals and Churches are under imminent threat and the French Police have to put some priority on protecting them and apprehending the culprits.

Do you really think the real cause was arson by arsonists? I don't think so. Only a small model of a building could be lit easily on fire without the criminal being noticed. See here: http://www.igorbnews.com/notredame.html
Anglicans are Catholic lite. They just removed 13 books from the original but the priesthood still dress the same and do the same ceremonies with all the same pomp and circumstance. The only reason they exist is because the Pope wouldn't let Henry the 8th divorce his wives. Some protest!
This tree was a hundred years old when Notre Dame was built. Others like it, part of ecosystems thousands of years older than Paris or any city in Europe, are cut down every day.
These ecosystems are part of cultures as rich as any religion, and the foundations of the world views and ways of life of dozens of First Nations.
So yes, the cathedral fire is a shame, but we wilfully destroy similar wonders for profit on the regular, and we need to reflect on that.
There were trees near here that were up to 3000 years old but they were too big to put on a truck so they cut them down and burned them. Nobody cares about anything created buy their god but if something is created by man, it is cried over. Makes no sense to me.
"God Made forests, man made churches... who you going to trust?"

I don't know. They still buggered children in the residential schools. I don't think their pedophilia rates are any less than the Catholics.
well, they're not great historically but my guess is that the buggery rate of the Anglican clergy these days hovers near zero whereas the buggery rate of the Catholic clergy is breaking new records every year.
I hold up Blackhead as an example of where the Anglican church has screwed up big time. That boy is truly buggered - emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
They say it may have been kids that started the Al aqsa mosque fire...
Go figure...You can't turn off Kiddish lighnin' !
