Once again a cathedral has come into the headlines, this time France has taken the loss.
As with Christchurch, the dilemma has started already about the rebuild.
These cathedrals were built years ago, the time difference between them is irrelevant, it was not in our lifetime.
The beliefs and the desire has changed, both countries now have different perspectives, different ideas and many different beliefs, ergo the impetus to rebuild has to be carefully considered.
The French cathedral is known the world over, it was indeed a magnificent building with a deep historic attachment; a rebuild would not have that; as with Christchurch it would be modern, the bricks and mortar would be modern, it would lose its historic attachment thus making the rebuild of little purpose.
