I mention the latter because news stories banged on about Notre Dame as a historic landmark before throwing in the place of worship thing as a kind of curious footnote. But something makes Notre Dame so evocatively beautiful that it must be rebuilt. In praising Notre Dame, people tap-danced around this central point. It is trite to say Notre Dame belongs to all of us. So Notre Dame must be rebuilt and will be.
