Notre Dame vs. European Secularism

Centuries of the European faithful have sacrificed to build exquisite monuments to their faith that subsequent generations would cherish as much as they did. It was a legacy that unfortunately secular Europe has destroyed for decades. The transformation has been visible to any visitor who cared to observe the change. Secular Europeans today value venerable old churches as cash cows, to the extent that they provide millions of visitors annually who spend a lot of tourist money to marvel and admire their remarkable history, art and architecture, while climbing to the top for a breathtaking view of the surrounding city. Each visitor must pay a fee to climb to the top.
