Yes, sad. Not distraught (maybe I would be were I French or Catholic) -- nobody died, neither any of the hundreds of firefighters nor spectators getting too close. The rest is stuff, and while it's sad to lose priceless centuries-old stuff, it's still *stuff*.
And the Catholic church has oodles of money and loot; they can rebuild. Not like most *other* communities (including Christian ones) that suffer terrible losses and can't.
