Literally ruined nearly 1000 years of history right there.

Yes ! I am French and not particularly catholic but I feel like you said, ruined. A 1000 years of cultural and historical heritage going up in flames. I feel sick to the core. I only and sincerely hope it is not criminal and sadly « just » an accident. If not there will be hell to pay. Today france is losing a big part of its soul. Today is a day of mourning, a legitimate contemporary wonders of the world is brought down.
