What about it?

GLASS, GOLDEN FLAMES OR A BEAM OF LIGHT

Since the French government owns Notre Dame it will likely be faithfully restored. If the Catholic Church owned it, "Katie bar the door."

How about restoring it as near as possible to what it was instead of some modern, iconoclastic, humanistic oriented BS?

TJM is right. The Church's leadership seems to be invested in making sure we remain a laughingstock to the world.

I hope that they restore it to look as it originally did, except maybe use a strong light-weight alloy instead of lumber.
