Notre Dame Is Burning! Is the Rest of France?

from The Sons Of History · host The Sons Of History

It was a huge shock to most people when video footage was shown of the Cathedral of Notre Dame burning. Construction on the cathedral began in 1160 and was completed 100 years later. So much history has taken place there, it would be a shame not to restore it (although it will never be the same). Some people have shown their disdain for any type of religiosity, and The Sons of History tackle all of it. From the history of the cathedral, to its current state, and the state that France finds itself in with so many desecrations taking place with Christian and Catholic churches. This conversation is about religious liberty and preserving the world's history.  Alan Wakim and Dustin Bass give their book and film recommendations as well. Here are some links to visit if you too are worried about the persecution of religious peoples: Stats on French church desecrations from the Ministry of the Interior List of countries with high religious persecution rates Quote from the Observatory of Intolerance and Discrimination Against Christians in Europe - Newsweek Article Facts and Stats on French church desecrations US Commission on International Religious Freedom Annual Report
