A Catedral que Santificou Joana D'arc, Foi Profanada pela Rev. Francesa, Coroou Napoleão, Sobreviveu a Hitler, e Celebrou Missas para Vítimas de Terrorismo Islâmico.

Hoje em dia, os jovens confundem Notre Dame com Nostradamus, uma desgraça, uma tristeza, que por vezes me faz desanimar demais.

A Catedral Notre-Dame foi profanada e teve suas estátuas destruídas pelos maçons da Revolução Francesa, mas sobreviveu a Hitler, que não tocou nela.

No entanto, o multiculturalismo ateu que tomou conta da França e do mundo pode ser uma bomba muito maior do que o comunismo e o nazismo. Como Cristo disse, aqueles que apenas matam fisicamente os cristãos não fazem muito mal, mas aqueles que destroem as almas dos cristãos fazem um mal terrível.
