THE BURNING OF NOTRE DAME
Chris discusses the burning of the Notre Dame Cathedral in France — one of the most famous Catholic Churches in the world, the setting for the story of “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” and many dramatic moments in French history. Some have speculated that the fires might have been set by Islamic jihadis, who have already vandalized hundreds of churches across France. But a curious detail has emerged: just days before the fires began, the statues of the Apostles were carefully removed, an event that some are calling divine intervention, yet others wonder if it may have been planned that way. Yet we consider that the Pope has been calling for unification between Catholics and Muslims, and that the concept of “Chrislam” has been promoted for years. Will France repair the famous Cathedral, and include Islamic icons in the restoration?
