Re: Notre Dame backlash...

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah. Or the Great Wall or Machu Picchu something.

I think it's more about being a popular tourist destination that the average person is familiar with. The fact of the matter is, the average English-speaking person doesn't know about, let alone have a personal connection with, that museum in Brazil or other landmarks. I wouldn't expect them to, as much as I wish we would effectively and financially treat these disasters very similarly.

Well, but, I mean, don't you have to ask how that state of affairs came to pass? I mean, why do we know more about one, why is one a tourist destination?

And it's not like this is limited to Brazil either

Re: Notre Dame backlash...

[(Anonymous)]

Well, let's see:

1. Notre Dame is over 900 years old and thus has considerable historical significance.

2. It's a beautiful piece of architecture whose construction is all the more impressive when you consider that it was built over 900 years ago without the aid of any modern technology. It also contains numerous works of art and religious relics.

3. It's an important site not just to Catholicism, but to Christianity as a larger whole.

4. It's a cultural icon in France.

5. It's a major tourist destination for all of the above reasons.

It's really not hard to understand why it's so well known.
