“The flames have devoured a european heritage”

“Notre-Dame will show you what people can create.”

“Aftonbladet’s leader board is the independent social democrat.”

“It has only been a day since the fire in the Notre-dame cathedral broke out, but at the time almost everything had to be said. The pope expressed his closeness to the French catholics, and Donald Trump has stated that the fire is terrible to watch and the mayor of London Sadiq Khan asserts that the city stands at the Paris side.”

“So where it goes. Stefan Löfven has expressed his dismay and despair and Carl Bildt wrote that it feels like the end of everything.”

“Creates strong emotions”

“A building can create strong feelings, and when it comes to a cathedral, which began construction soon to be 900 years ago, it is not really so strange. Notre-dame cathedral on the Ile de la Cité in the heart of Paris is so much more than a stop on the turistturen by one of the world’s most fabled cities. The cathedral is symbolic on so many levels.”

“A cathedral is, of course, always a place to practise religion. At the same time, our time, the interpretation of faith as something private and almost individually have never created a building of Notre-Dame. Medieval cathedrals expresses something more than individual faith in god. Power of course, but also a kind of social order where people’s common efforts can achieve something almost superhuman.”

“Some make more than others”

“The insight would really be needed today. Then as now there were of course some, which accounted for the bulk of the effort, and others who took for themselves most of the credit.”

“Notre-Dame has the last day been described as a symbol of the French nation. It is the course. But a medieval cathedral, like the one in Paris – it took almost 200 years to build – is as much a manifestation of a european cultural activities. The skills required to create buildings that surpassed it possible were assembled from the whole christian world.”

“Europe is divided”

“To Notre-Dame thats just when the increasingly powerful forces seem to be divided in their national atoms raises the undeniably disturbing emotions.nRedan yesterday declared president of the French republic Emmanuel Macron to the cathedral to be built up again.”

“On one level it is a promise that will never be fully realized. No matter how much effort will the Notre-Dame cathedral to be another church after the fire.”

“On another plane, gave the Macros the only answer he could give. Our time will not leave behind a few buildings still standing and evokes the feelings of seven or eight centuries. It would not be a market economy is justified. Precisely why we have a responsibility to manage the heritage we have received, with all the symbols it carries with it.”
