I was there twice. I’m not Catholic or very religious, but entering the sanctuary is a humbling experience. It makes one feel small and insignificant, which I’m sure was the point of building it. It is an amazing piece of human achievement, from engineering, psychological, and religious perspectives. I’m not a strong believer, but I lit votives and said prayers for my dying grandson. “I don’t know if this stuff works, but if it works anywhere, it must work here.”
Sad to see it damaged, but I’m glad so much of Notre Dame was saved.
