The spire collapsed, most of the roof was destroyed, and the upper walls were severely damaged. The vaulted ceiling managed to contain most of the fire, and experts say the vast majority of artwork and religious relics were moved to safety early on and could be reinstalled once restoration is complete.Restoration\u00a0During an online conference in May, Father Gilles Drouin, the liturgist chosen by the archbishop of Paris to oversee the restoration, unveiled his proposal for the interior. It was then posted to YouTube. Last week, a British outlet broke the news about what was in the presentation, calling it a \u201cwoke theme park.\u201dFather Drouin\u2019s proposal includes updates such as removing confessional boxes, altars, and some of the classical sculptures and paintings. Those would be replaced with modern murals; contemporary, abstract art; and new sound and light installations to create \u201cemotional spaces.\u201dThere would also be a \u201cdiscovery trail\u201d through the fourteen side chapels which would emphasize Africa and Asia. Quotes from the Bible will be projected onto the walls in languages like Mandarin. One chapel would also have a climate change theme.Drouin is arguing that Notre Dame has always evolved with the times and his plans are no different. He told French news agency, AFP, that his changes to the church are intended to be welcoming to people \u201cwho are not always from a Christian culture.\u201dAround 340,000 people around the world donated $940 million to the restoration efforts.A foremost critic is the famed Parisian architect Maurice Culot who told The Art Newspaper, \u201cIt\u2019s Notre Dame de Paris turned into Disneyland.\u201d Culot went on to point out the exterior of the building will feature traditional, period-appropriate materials like stone, wood and lead, but said he\u2019s afraid the inside is going to be a \u201ctheme park\u201d for foreign tourists.What\u2019s Next?Under French law, any church built before 1905 is owned by the government, which means the final say will come from France\u2019s National Heritage and Architecture Commission. According to reports, the commission will be reviewing the plans this week, and if the plan is approved the project will move forward.\u00a0In the meantime, French President Emanuel Macron seems optimistic and is promising that the cathedral will be open to visitors in Spring, 2024, just before the Summer Olympics in Paris.GordonsLife via Getty ImagesOther Stories We\u2019re TrackingHispanic VotersA new poll from the Wall Street Journal found that Hispanic voters, a group which has historically swung heavily in favor of democrats, are now split evenly between preferring Democrat or Republican candidates on a generic ballot.
