I apologize if I came off as abrupt and unsensitive. I'm not always as clear as I'd like to be and it's hard to really go into detail on this sensitive of a subject without breaching the rules on religion and politics. For both good and ill, I think the Cathedral is historically and culturally significant and should be preserved. It's also one of the world's finest examples of Gothic architecture. But that doesn't mean I agree with darker aspects of it's history or that the negative parts should be forgotten.

You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return... -
I hope there is a similar outpouring of charity to the people of Sri Lanka after today's tragedy.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

A little off topic but would like to know people's opinions …
Hearing news reports about rebuilding the cathedral and how France doesn't have old growth timbers to remake the bones of it.
They said they looking at Canada and the USA to perhaps provide the wood.
I can't help but think, USE STEEL !!!!!!!!!!
Even if you glue fake veneer wood onto it
What do you guys think ?
Would you rebuild exactly as it was ?
Or update the heck out of it so it doesn't happen again ?Comment

I think using different materials will likely be a must. What about using titanium and carbon fiber?
