I was idly wondering why they hadn't pretty much finished rebuilding it yet. I mean, it's been nearly 2 months and even in France you'd expect
something to have been done by now. But the Archbish of Paris claims that the people who promised to pay for it
haven't coughed up.
Quote:
Only a fraction of the money promised by donors to rebuild the Notre Dame cathedral has been paid, the Archbishop of Paris has said.
Michel Aupetit said only €13.5m (£11.8m) ($15 million+change in real money) had been paid thus far, despite reports that €1bn (£873m) (roughly $1.1 billion) had been pledged.
“The famous €1bn is guaranteed by no foundation, no authority,” he said in a statement.
The archbishop stressed that he was not calling any pledges into question but said “the fact remains that most of these donations have not yet been made.”

So much for Catlicks. When good, honest True Christians™ promise to tithe, we keep our promises. At least, most of us do and there are "consequences" for those who don't. The Archbishop needs to name and shame these people. I wonder what they've done with the $15 million, though? It can't all have gone on wine, wafers and payoffs to ex-choirboys.
