Topic: Pope Francis tweets his condolences and divine comfort to the people of France
Father Merrin !u5oFWxmY7U started this discussion 7 years ago #86,065
"Today we unite in prayer with the people of France, as we wait for the sorrow inflicted by the serious damage to be transformed into hope with reconstruction. Holy Mary, Our Lady, pray for us. #NotreDame"https://twitter.com/Pontifex/status/1118114313351225345
Earlier, he also reminded us of the message of Holy Week:
"Christ, out of love, sacrificed himself completely in order to save you. His outstretched arms on the cross are the most telling sign that he is a friend who is willing to stop at nothing. #HolyWeek"

It is a message I find beautifully expressed in this image of God miraculously sparing the cross in the cathedral.

You're young but a long time ago there used to be a very large cathedral in France called Notre Dame. God let it burn down.

Ok great, so if I wanted to go explore it and pray there I can still do that?

Because it happened. Things that happen are things that God allows to happen, unless you are saying God could not have prevented the fire.

Maybe because Catholic Church has encouraged priests to be pedophiles. Ever faction of the Catholic church has abused children and nuns for centuries.

So you've accepted that the church still exists, even if it's temporarily closed. Good, because that really was a stunningly silly thing you wrote earlier :)
"Sorry sir, the restaurant is closed for the evening"
"Then it no longer exists!!"
> so if I wanted to go explore it and pray there I can still do that?
Knock yourself out.

Common knowledge. Until the fire yesterday the very mention of the Catholic church evoked the term pedophilia. Recently in the news with apology by Pope, was abuse of Nuns. Nuns turned into sex slaves and forced abortions by priests.
The fire will take the heat off the church for a while until the next exposure by the press as they continue to uncover rape of children by priests.

Did he tweet some of those jewel-encrusted crucifixes or works of art for help with the reconstruction effort, too?

Those aren't "other words", they're the same ones you used in the previous sentence.

Don't live under a rock, faithful everywhere are donating for reconstruction. Has the Holy See donated anything?

And you didn't answer the question. How would the Pope "tweeting a jewel-encrusted crucifix or work of art" (?) help with the reconstruction effort?

So you can't perceive the answer. God must have hardened your heart for your sacrilege.
