Notre-Dame

[flyboy77]

It is an interesting position.  The French Government owns Notre Dame, not the Catholic Church.  The works and church are insured - although would need to see the outcome of the Insurance process.  $1b to renovate a church?  Seems like a lot.  I would imagine there will be caveats on the donations (the big ones).

It was/is an amazing building.  It will also be interesting to see if they rebuild to what it was, or build something modern instead.

Hardly relevant in answering how much has the Vatican chipped in....
