Re: Notre Dame backlash...

[(Anonymous)]

I agree, and I find this really exhausting - and I've never been to Notre Dame so am not one of the people sharing their photos. I mean, dude, it's an important landmark that meant something to a lot of people, and it's extremely historically and architecturally significant. That's not even getting into the spiritual/religious connection countless people had to it, or that it was just a visually beautiful building that could take your breath away.

I think it's fine to use this as a starting point to raise awareness about other historical and cultural significant landmarks that have been lost, and pledge ourselves to actively protecting them. It's also fine to point out the wealth inequality of billionaires pledging their chump change to restore Notre Dame, or criticize the Vatican's unwillingness to help. It's fine to point out that it could be hard to spend hundreds of millions of dollars restoring a building when money needs to go to other causes as well.

But it's a good thing that people feel an emotional connection to this building. We should not be simplifying this to some dichotomy of "if you donate to a building instead of the homeless, you suck." It's good that people care about Notre Dame - that passion will hopefully lead to it being restored, and increase awareness about precious historical landmarks, including ones that don't get as much attention.
