Posted yesterday to Matt Barber’s site Barbwire:
From a Christian perspective, Notre Dame represented no loss to real Christianity, because it is a cathedral consecrated to Notre Dame, a French name whose English meaning is “Our Lady.” The Apostles of Jesus would have seen as abomination a church dedicated to Mary, the mother of Jesus. They would have characterized it idolatry.
From a spiritual perspective, a place of idolatry was destroyed. And the destructive fire not only destroyed the idols of Mary and other men and women. It destroyed also Gargoyles — statues of demons. Notre Dames was filled of such demonic images.
Not only Notre Dame celebrated the mother of Jesus, but History shows that after thousands and thousands of Huguenots — Protestant men, women and children — were massacred in the infamous St. Bartholomew’s Day (23–24 August 1572), the French king who ordered their massacre celebrated it in Notre Dame. So Notre Dame was marked by idolatry and celebration of massacres of Christians. What else could result from a church building with so many demonic images?
Despite the above, which Barber did not write, he has spent the week blaming the fire on Muslims.
Do we doubt that Muslims, atheists & other pagans would celebrate the destruction of #NotreDame?
No, we expect it.
They hate Jesus, the Way, the Truth & the Life…

Muslims have desecrated many churches in France, throughout Europe & beyond, in much the same manner as this Christian church in Egypt. I find the narrative that the #NoterDameFire was an accident highly dubious https://t.co/AfaMv2zl2z
