And is why the Vatican offered it expertise and I believe financial assistance to help with the rebuild. No doubt Notre Dame (and a few other French owned buildings) would be in a better state if the Catholic Church had control of the building rather than the penny pinching French State.

Not as ironic as spending $ 2.4 billion dollars on a presidential campaign - to end up with Trump.

It is the catholic heart of Paris and possibly France. It is a historic treasure trove of catholic history. The catholic church is oozing money. It seems unlikely that the French state would have turned down a contribution.

It may be months before the restorers are able to get close, inspecting and assessing the safety of the structure may take weeks, and the fact that the roof is open to the weather may lead to substantial additional damage before the roof can be covered over even temporarily.
