// Our Christian heritage, means little to them. //
er I think the Christian heritage means little to you, to be honest. It is not buildings, but people and beliefs ( from one book ) . In France, with Notre Dame a pile of ash - easter is not going to be stopped or postponed. Full steam a head !
have it in a field if need be
where were you when they were teaching this in primary school ?

The three immense rose windows have all survived the blaze, according to the Archbishop of Paris. The southern rose window, hand crafted in the 1250s, is 12.9m in diameter. However, some smaller windows at the top of the building melted or burst in the heat of the fire.
Update;
The crown of thorns believed to have been worn by Jesus during his crucifixion was saved from the blaze. Given to King Louis IX in 1238, it is one of the holiest relics in Christianity and was rescued from the Cathedral’s treasury by Jean-Marc Fournier, chaplain of the Paris
Fire Brigade.
Key relics saved
Notre-Dame is home to an 8,000-pipe grand organ dating back to 1403. Bertrand de Feydeau, a senior French heritage preservation official said that it had not suffered fire damage.
“The organ is a very fragile instrument, especially its pipes,” he said.
“It has not burnt, but no one can tell whether it has been damaged by water. Nobody knows if it is a functioning state or will need to be restored.”
'The project faces another hurdle. Europe is no longer blessed with forests of giant oaks, ready to be chopped down. More than 1,300 oak trees were used for Notre-Dame’s orginal roof frame, equivalent to 52 acres of woodland.
Bertrand de Feydeau, vice president of preservation group Fondation du Patrimoine, said the cathedral’s roof cannot be rebuilt exactly as it was before the fire because “we don’t, at the moment, have trees on our territory of the size that were cut in the 13th century”.
Thousands of private forest owners pledged yesterday to donate one oak each to the new roof.'

// Naomi, people have the choice in their reactions to the events rather than the events themselves. I think it’s fair to draw a comparison between the two reactions.//

not Brexit - but a meandering and useless discussion over whether a muslim did it and with political intent ( no and no) and no the thread is mostly not worth reading
