From The Guardian:
“Miraculously, Notre Dame’s structure is still “sound,”
government officials said at a press conference.”
(Miraculously, indeed!)
A French priest is being praised for entering the Notre-Dame Cathedral while it was burning on Monday to help save the priceless crown of thorns.
Jean-Marc Fournier, the chaplain of the Paris Fire Brigade [500 fire fighters were at the scene], insisted on entering the burning cathedral and helped retrieve both the crown of thorns and the Blessed Sacrament.
