Beauty glorifies God and comes from God and points us to God. Art has its place. Europe would not be ‘Europe’ without it. I would be heartbroken if it just became another strip-mall ridden, uninspired place with an NFL game blaring in the background. Don’t get me wrong: ESPN and WalMarts have their place.
But let’s not be dismissive of Notre Dame or Viennese waltzes.
I agree. And His Creation points to Him in all aspects. It's not just limited to one area on the planet.

A lot of places have art that is just a beautiful as what is in Europe.

There are some places in Europe turning into that.

I've been to Notre Dame. IIRC there was a Mass occurring but tourists were allowed to enter.
