Exclusive: Notre-Dame interior faces woke 'Disney' revamp
UK Telegraph ^ | 11 26 2021 | Henry Samuel Paris and Tim Stanley

Posted on 11/26/2021 11:35:43 AM PST by yesthatjallen

Paris’s fire-ravaged Notre-Dame cathedral risks resembling a “politically correct Disneyland” under controversial plans for its renovation seen by The Telegraph.

Critics have warned that the world-famous cathedral will be turned into an “experimental showroom” under plans to dramatically change the inside of the medieval building.

Under the proposed changes, confessional boxes, altars and classical sculptures will be replaced with modern art murals, and new sound and light effects to create “emotional spaces”.

There will be themed chapels on a “discovery trail”, with an emphasis on Africa and Asia, while quotes from the Bible will be projected onto chapel walls in various languages, including Mandarin.

The final chapel on the trail will have a strong environmental emphasis.

Why stop at half measures? Just turn it into a mosque already. You know that’s what you really want anyway.

Has anyone seen the new Facebook TV ad promoting their new “Meta” branding strategy? It is weird - it shows four young African-Americans entering a virtual jungle full of animals. When the animals begin to “get in the grove” a bit, kind of swaying, the humans follow their lead. Not only creepy, but kind of racist in a way.

IIRC, right after the muzzies burned ND down there was a big discussion about how it would be rebuilt.
Seems to me that the big money behind the rebuild insisted that the place had to be rebuilt EXACTLY as it had been.
Be interesting to see how this one plays out.

So predictable.

“Let’s burn it down, and ruin it!”

“Darn! It didn’t burn down entirely! They’re going to try and fix it!”

“Don’t worry! We can still ruin it!!!”

That was in Plan A, but it made the gift shop too small.

I don’t know if it counts as ‘racist’, since it seems that virtually all ads feature all black casts. Except for home protection ads of course. Portraying a burglar is one job a white actor can fill.

The Muslims converted cathedrals into mosques, e.g., Hagia Sophia in Constantinople. It appears that the French, in cooperation with Pope Francis’ Marxist beliefs, is turning Notre Dame Cathedral into a temple of leftist ideology.

The great evil with the “Metaverse” promotion is they are trying to replace Heaven with a virtual world in which one “remains forever”.

In other words, forget the Transfiguration into the real supernatural Glorified state promised and demonstrated by our Lord Jesus. To get there it greatly helps to have the Sacraments— especially Eucharist and Confessions.

The evil is doing their best to cut off our Sacramental Grace supply lines. The plans for restoring Norte Dame exposes it quite clearly.
