If I remember correctly, they managed to save the crown of thorns, the sliver of the cross, a piece of stone from Christ's tomb, and 2 of the three rose windows among other things.

Good i hope

Yeah, I was about to say that. A priest ran in and took them all out.

I see this tragedy more from the side of religiousness. (As you know Liam) I am a Catholic myself, and Notre Dame Cathedral is arguably like the 4th most notable/important location in the Roman Catholic Church. St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City, Jerusalem, and Rome being the others. To Patek phillippe's point, it is just a building, and it will be rebuilt. The Holy See and the Pontifical Commission has already put aside millions of dollars to the reconstruction, plus the French government is doing the same. However, it is more of a tragedy to see that the artwork, religious artifacts, Holy relics, and almost 900 years of archival history, not only of the Catholic Church but of Paris, to go up in smoke, or damaged beyond repair. We were blessed with the fact that a lot of things were actually saved because it was locked away in the vault, and we should all be thankful for that.

Also, thank you for the sympathies Scholars of diplomacy. You obviously have a very good understanding of the importance of this place to the Catholic/Christian faith, and your tact and knowledge has not gone unnoticed.

You may have figured that I am also Christian (not Catholic though. I go to a Catholic school and it drove me away from Christianity for a few years), I think there was a reason this church burned down. It will serve the greater good, more people around the world are being exposed to Christianity, that will lead to more research and eventually, (hopefully) they will find the truth.

I really struggle to talk about this kind of thing for some reason

I believe that there is more to this than when a famous person dies. I would instead compare this tragedy to something like 9/11 or the fall of Constantinople. It's like seeing something that is seemingly eternal crumble right before your eyes, not to mention that the archives, art and architecture are extremely influential to our understanding of the time period. It also, in the eyes of many, is a symbol of not only French but Western civilization as a whole and for many like myself on the political right, we see this as a sad reminder of what is happening in Europe and in other Western countries where we feel like our entire culture is attempting to be removed by our own governments in the name of "inclusiveness". Basically, there is much more to this than a building burning down which is why it is monumental to many.

Hear Hear, I agree with your conclusion about us on the right seeing society crumble and to lose such an important symbol of faith is terrible, not to mention as you said, the artwork and the priceless other things.
We should also remember that this was built in the 1200's when something of that scale was immense. The amount of hand crafted work was huge and often this would feed a family for years, and it was beyond just one firm, it was a whole community to create something wonderful whereas today's buildings do not look as fantastic and do not last for 800 years
