As images of the fire ravaging through the historic church sparked outcries around the globe, people from all walks of life are mourning. Its place in Catholicism is undisputed
There are few monuments that are more distinctly French or more woven into the history of France than Notre Dame Cathedral.
Beyond the Catholics who attend mass there and the tourists who go to look for a glimpse of Quasimodo, the cathedral represents a landmark in Parisian life that is now likely permanently scarred, if not disfigured or ruined. Edward Berenson, a history professor who specializes in French history at New York University, said Notre Dame is"one of the most sacred places, maybe the most sacred place, not only in France but in all of Catholicism. There aren’t that many places that are that old and that connected to the history of the church."
“Architecturally, it was significant at the time it was built because it was built in the Gothic tradition,” said Krupali Krusche, the associate dean of the school of architecture at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, who pointed to the lightness of the walls and the flying buttress support system as two key factors in that style.
