Hi Jack, I'm catholic. I agree this is tragic -- it's devastating. But using any other tragedy - especially one with a high body count - to compare to the burning of a church is very offensive. We are mourning a building, not people.

I disagree...I’m Catholic too...it was a house of God where He resided and many souls went there to pray...so I will too acknowledge that it’s affected me as much as 9/11 too.

I'm Lutheran, not Catholic, but these symbols of our Christian faith are touching to us all and my heart breaks with you.

Same here... I’m Lutheran but Christianity as a whole is being attacked far too much recently and nothing is being done.

You’re watching Western Civilization being burned to the ground & during Holy Week makes it all too much to bear...

To God, one soul is more precious than 10,000 churches. 3,000 souls perishing is much more tragic than losing an 800 year old roof and spire. It’s tragic no doubt, but churches can be rebuilt.

I think it is the symbolism--the destruction of Judeo-Christian values throughout Europe-- which makes it so emotional. Yes, the church is a historical treasure. It is symbolic of those values being destroyed. Europe, as we've known it, is burning to the ground.
