What are they building these cathedrals out of? Firelighters.

It's being reported as Arson - 3 separate fires through-out the Cathedral with the organ being the main "target" it looks like.

You do know that wood burns, right? In fact wood has been the source of fire for human beings ever since the first caveman decided to rub two sticks together for fun and had the shock of his life.

True, thought I’ve intentionally burned my organ before. Freeze-burned, mind (HPV).

Wood mate. Wood. Old dry wood. Old dry wood typically treated with flammable preservatives.

TMI is the correct abbreviation for this application I believe.

Latest in a long pattern then.

Sadly true. In 2018 alone as part of the 1063 recorded "anti-Christian" attacks there were 875 French churches vandalised and this was a similar figure for 2017, 2016 etc. There's been no figure for 2019 given yet but I doubt it's dropped drastically.

Or at planning session where they're throwing all sorts of ideas around some of them are silly and really just thrown in to get a discussion going about the limits of what they might go for.

You'd have thought God would have taken more care of his worship temples.
Never understood why they put lightning conductors on churches either.... Just shows a lack of faith.

The French love to burn stuff, tyres in the street, an effigy of world leaders every once in a while, and the odd Cathedral here and there. It's part of French "culture".

Does "woke" just mean "scary to the Torygraph" now?
I believe in means Childish liberal nonaense
When I was working as an apprentice in Holland, I worked alongside another apprentice who was a bit... morally loose, shall we say.
Over the period of a few months there were recurring articles in the town's newspaper about someone who had been nicking the copper lightning conductors off roofs of buildings, including the town hospital, town hall, and load of others. Then this fellow apprentice suddenly disappeared and nobody knew where to find him until the local paper had a front page article about the copper nicker. There was a photo of his E30 316i and a trailer right next to a church, turns out he was nicking the copper all along. He would use bolt cutters to cut out the 2m lengths between the brackets used to fix it to the roofs, then chuck it down in to the trailer, until one day he fell off the church's roof, in to his trailer and impaled himself on a piece of copper. He survived with rather severe injuries and was jailed for a few years.
Seems that God didn't tolerate his shenanigans
