Let's hope the miracle of the renewed Notre Dame inspires peace and love and humanity. We need it

Nostradamus, the 16th century French astrologer, made some grim predictions about three world wars. We've had two, when is the third? Now we have Notre Dame, not Nostradamus, and the only prediction anyone wants is a future of peace and no wars and decent leaders who get on with each other. Donald Trump is at the reopening of Notre-Dame. Perhaps he will be filled by the glory of the wonderfully restored cathedral to seek peace everywhere. The restoration of Notre Dame is one of the most spectacular architectural and engineering acheievements of modern times. The dedication and skills of the thousands of people who played their part in making this cathedral great again after the terrible fire of 2019 have been truly awesome. President Macron said he wanted the restoration to be completed in five years and no one believed it would be possible. Yet, here we are on Saturday December 7th and it's being reopened with leaders from around the world attending. Brilliant. Vive La France.
