Julio Longares. Il y aura d’autres pertes. Si notre patrimoine part en fumée, c’est que nous n’assumons pas notre devoir de le protéger, par naïveté, idéologie, voire complaisance. Sommes nous encore dignes de ce que le passé nous lègue ? La réponse se trouve dans ce nuage de fumée qui emportait 400 ans d’histoire le 18 juillet 2020. Je partage votre tristesse.
When Notre Dame was on fire last year, I was in Bologna and saw the horror of the fire on TV in the hotel. Titulaire Olivier Latry from Notre Dame was in Vienna for concerts at the time. When I heard of the fire in Nantes Cathedral, I immediately thought of Jean Guillou, who came from the neighboring town of Angers - he did not have to witness both tragedies. The churches are burning! A more than strange apocalyptic interpretation. These moral derailments must not become routine. There are things that can be replaced - historical cultural property is lost once and for all. Thanks for this memento!
Many thanks for this tribute. Benoist, Nantes - France
Une perte irréparable pour la culture universelle

In galera a vita
Qui atempta contra l'art, atempta contra l'esperit de tota la humanitat. Estic molt trista.
