New Plan: La Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris 'Is Being Turned Into A Woke Theme Park'

Huh. Did not see that one coming.

From the Daily Mail, November 26:

Notre Dame 'is being turned into a woke theme park': Cathedral is being revamped with a 'discovery trail' and 'Christianity for dummies' exhibits, claim critics

  • Under new plans, a 'discovery trail' will lead visitors through 14 themed chapels
    The final chapel will be dedicated to the environment, others are for Africa, Asia
    Trendy art murals will cover walls, with sound and lighting used for 'emotion'
    Scripture will be beamed onto walls in foreign languages, including Mandarin 

Fire-ravaged Notre Dame cathedral is being turned into a 'woke theme park' with renovators adding a 'discovery trail' and 'Christianity for dummies' exhibits, critics have claimed.

Under new plans, confessional boxes, altars and classical sculptures will be scrapped for trendy art murals, with sound and lighting effects creating 'emotional spaces.'

A 'discovery trail' will lead visitors through various chapels, with an emphasis on Africa and Asia, and scripture will be beamed onto the walls in various languages, including Mandarin. One of the sanctuaries will even be dedicated to the environment.....

....MUCH MORE, including some tremendous pictures.

I thought it was supposed to be rebuilt as it was but if change is afoot they might as well go with the American proposal:

By now you've probably heard about Professor Tallon and his laser, the billions of measurements and the images created from the data:

Following on the Delivery of the Mueller Report, Here's Someone Else Who Should Be Investigated

This Jean-Marc Fournier fellow has been found in very close proximity to troubling events for years, it's about time he received a second look.
From The Daily Mail:

The hero who saved the Crown of Thorns: Fire brigade chaplain entered flaming Notre Dame to recover holy relic - three years after he bravely helped Bataclan terror victims
  • Jean-Marc Fournier saved the Crown of Thorns from the blazing Notre Dame 
  • Paris Fire Brigade chaplain also rescued the Blessed Sacrament from cathedral 
  • Father Fournier described as a 'hero' for 'showing no fear' and saving the relics
  • In 2015 he also rushed inside the Bataclan where Islamic State militants killed 89
A French priest who helped the wounded in the Bataclan terror attack on Paris and who survived an ambush in Afghanistan also emerged as a hero of the Notre Dame fire today.
