Horrific. I am – uncharacteristically – all but speechless. And heartbroken.
200 years in the making, 800 years old, Notre Dame – the Cathedral of Our Lady – is the heart and soul of Catholic France... arguably, of European Christendom. Even in secular terms, so much priceless, irreplaceable art and architecture embodied in that structure. And the prayers of so many Christian faithful, for so many centuries, have winged heaven-ward from those walls and towers.
Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.
