Fire at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris

Surprisingly high, apparently! We had a 120-year old parsonage in Kempele burn down yesterday. Which obviously is a much smaller deal than the Notre Dame fire, or the potential for damage at Al-Aqsa, but it’s a historically valuable religious building going up in flames. Coincidences like this are much more common than people tend to think.

Good distinction, I admit :slight_smile:

Excellent point, and in fact they did use water from the Seine to extinguish the fire.

You lost me.

If you mean one precludes the other, of course not.

However, the underemphasis on one has repercussions that underemphasis of the wouldn’t have.

“Victor Hugo thanks all the generous donors ready to save Notre Dame and proposes that they do the same thing with Les Misérables,” he wrote on Twitter, referring to another one of Hugo’s famous novels, about the lives of the poor.
