The <em>Times<\/em> noted:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"9\">\n<p>The heritage commission also authorized cathedral administrators to rearrange the tabernacle and other items to create more room for visitors. Artworks from the 20th and 21st centuries could be placed next to old master paintings from the cathedral\u2019s collection, such as Mathieu Le Nain\u2019s \u2018Nativity of the Virgin Mary.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>One new feature that will likely glorify the cathedral is the new entryway, through the central portal rather than a side door, allowing visitors to be \u201cfirst struck by the grandeur, by the beauty of Notre-Dame,\u201d according to&nbsp;Notre-Dame rector Msgr. Patrick Chauvet, who said the new designs will create \u201ca dialogue\u201d between the old and the new.<\/p>\n<p>In November, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/europe\/2021\/11\/27\/notre-dame-to-become-a-woke-disneyland-under-leaked-renovation-plans\/\">controversy erupted<\/a> when it appeared that the beloved cathedral would get a dramatic remodeling, transforming it into a \u201cwoke Disneyland\u201d that placed globalist ecumenism over its Medieval Catholic roots. As Breitbart News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/europe\/2021\/11\/27\/notre-dame-to-become-a-woke-disneyland-under-leaked-renovation-plans\/\">reported<\/a> at the time:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote readability=\"21.747851002865\">\n<p>According to renovation plans&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/world-news\/2021\/11\/26\/notre-dame-risks-becoming-woke-disneyland-controversial-renovation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">divulged<\/a>&nbsp;to&nbsp;<em>The Telegraph<\/em>, the cathedral may have its interior become a politically correct \u201ctheme park,\u201d with parts of the building\u2019s interior that were left mostly untouched by the fire set to change dramatically.<\/p>\n<p>Confessional boxes, altars, and classical statues are to be replaced with modern art murals, while light and sound effects will be added to the building in order to create so-called \u201cemotional spaces.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThemed chapels\u201d are also to be added to the building as part of what is being dubbed a\u201ddiscovery trail\u201d.
