This is heartbreaking and I'm not even Catholic. When the news came on the first thing I thought of was Prof. Edward Marti, he taught History of Building when I was in school. I know he would be heartbroken too, if he were still living. My wife and I visited it when we lived in Germany, it was breathtaking. I was upset that they didn't seem to be doing much to put it out at first. Now I can see why the authorities wouldn't let firefighters in with molten lead raining down everywhere. It just cannot be replaced.
