Comes as churches across world being destroyed by left-wing extremists
A Roman Catholic church located in Nantes, Pays de la Loire, France has caught fire a year after a devastating blaze hit the Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris, partially destroying the iconic building.
A major fire has taken place at the Nantes Cathedral, or the Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul of Nantes, with the local fire service confirming the blaze.
The emergency services promptly arrived on site, with 104 firefighters and 45 fire engines working at the scene. The blaze was contained after serious efforts, according to the fire department.
In the wake of the fire, the Nantes Prosecutors Office has opened an arson case. According to the Ouest-France outlet, there were several sources of ignition in the church.
According to a representative of the emergency services, the fire originated in the area of the organ. The musical instrument was purportedly destroyed, while the roof remains undamaged. More than a hundred people from the emergency services are trying to save the works of art inside the cathedral, the representative of the emergency services said.
French President Emmanuel Macron has expressed his support for the firefighters.
After Notre-Dame, the Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul of Nantes, in the heart of Nantes, is in flames. I support our firefighters who take all the risks to save this Gothic gem in the city of the Dukes, he said on Twitter.
Netizens have shared numerous photos and videos depicting black fumes pouring from a window between the cathedrals two towers.
Notre Dame, a medieval Catholic cathedral in Paris caught fire on 15 April 2019, causing the collapse of the buildings spire and the partial destruction of its roof. The incident might have been caused by the reconstruction works going on at one of the greatest examples of French Gothic architecture.
The fire damaged some of the churchs relics, prompting a stream of donation pledges worth 850 million euros ($953 million).
The last fire to have affected Nantes Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul was in 1972. It ravaged the roof and resulted in a three-year closure.
Since 1862, the Nantes Cathedral has been listed as a historic monument by the French Ministry of Culture. The cathedral is constructed in the Gothic architectural tradition and the building, considered to be one of the great products of the Renaissance, is lit by a 25-metre glass dome created by cantonal master-builder François Chapuis dedicated to the saints of Brittany.

I am sure these cathedral fires can be traced back to the French allowing Muslims to immigrate into France.
One of them supposedly said, "They allowed us to come into the country." :-/

Didn't think they had gasoline-powered organs in the 17th century.

Fun fact: Silicon Valley was started by Nobel prize winner Bill Shockley, IQ researcher and primary inventor of the junction transistor.

Perhaps Nantes updated and was using a gasoline powered engine to drive the bellows. Have you ever heard of spontaneous combustion of organs?

They might not have any choice in the matter, especially in how to contribute. I believe they cannot open a bank account and credit card companies and PayPal refuse them.

Who is hated today despite virtually inventing the America we know, because he dared to speak plain truths jews hate. Is he the one who was reduced to poverty by cancel culture and had to sell his Nobel Prize to buy groceries?
Let's have a moment of silence for this brave and brilliant man, wherever we are.

When I worked for State of Illinois, I walk into the yard on St. Patrick's Day wearing my orange safety jacket.
One of the guys said, "Tex, where is your green?"
I said, "I'm an Orangeman today and every day."
We had an Irishman named George there and he was laughing.
I said, "Hey George. They don't know what that means."
He said, "I know."
Orangemen were the Protestants from Northern Ireland. ;)

Pinguinite mentioned the Nantes organ might have caught fire due to spontaneous combustion.
Those organs have always had a spontaneous combustion problem. It's high time they made them powered by something other than gasoline.

The Irish and Dutch brands of Orange are related thanks to William of Orange

Well, there has to be some reason why cathedrals were catching fire. Gasoline powered organs seemed as reasonable an explanation as any.
