Macron arrived at the scene, accompanied by Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo, French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe and first lady Brigitte Macron, as well as the Paris prosecutor, who has opened an investigation into the fire.
Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, the president of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, said Notre Dame "is not only a majestic church, it is also a world treasure," he said.
"Noble in architecture and art, it has long been a symbol of the transcendent human spirit as well as our longing for God," he said.

US President Donald Trump said it was a "terrible, terrible fire" and lamented the damage done to the historic cathedral.
"That's beyond countries, that's beyond anything," he said. "It's a part of our culture."

Coincidence?

Quote:

On Friday Islamic terrorists Inez Madani was jailed for eight years for her attempted car bombing outside of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.

Madani was wounded with a knife in the belly of a police officer during the arrest in 2016.

On Friday she was jailed for eight years in the attempted attack.

It was a holy site for Christians.

One of the top 10 in the world.

We know who are working towards a holy-war. Muslims, like Christians, are being used as pawns

Yes, Notre Dame was a beautiful building, but it is a building of man, a material thing. Our true holy site lies within us and no one can destroy that unless we allow them

People need to control their emotions because emotions will be used, if we allow it, as kindling for holy wars

Notre Dame can be rebuilt and would probably be the better for it

Yes, very sad.

I'm glad I got to see it last year.

I spent an hour or so looking around the building, and then went to the Shakespeare Bookshop across the bridge.

I love that part of Paris.

Won't be the same now Cry

I'm guessing it will turn out to be sparks from a grinder igniting rags soaked in turps, or something similar.

They were doing renovations when I visited.

But I'm going with sparks from a grinder, igniting a pile of rags. Sad
