Even as a participant in French standard secularism that proposal is morally outrageous to me. You can take our city, but you'll never take our aesthetic.

Once it's cleaned up properly, that former cathedral will make a fine Protestant church.

Honestly if gospel style mass made it over here I'd probably go to mass on occasion. Bring the funk, Grim.

Wouldn't make a good temple, however. That's okay, we already have one and there aren't many members.

I love the synagogue where I live, it's rather quirky and interesting to look at.

You're gonna have to pry that cathedral from my cold dead hands if you want to make it a Protestant church!

Cool, where is that?

Does that building even have any windows?

It's just outside the Monte Carlo ward of Monaco.

People always criticize the animated Hunchback for not being a faithful adaptation, but I thank God for that.
The original stuff is weird and depressing!

I think Scar's a pretty good Disney villain.

You see, there's no denying he had a decent reason for his behaviour

But, as effective Disney villains go, he's still up near the top (most of them were neither effective nor frightening, except as a very, very young child). And -- even if he wasn't his parents' favourite and was cast-off -- that's not an excuse for being willing to hurt a child.

Albeit a kind-of-annoying one.

I was 100% on Team Scar when I watched the film as a kid, and the removal of potential rival claimants is important in a top-down system of government in cases of disputed succession in order to establish legitimacy and avoid violence and chaos that will not serve the common interest.

Scar was a good boy and he did nothing wrong.

That's too bad. Is there anything that can help it?
