Controversy and Progress: The Rebuilding of Notre Dame

TL;DR Summary
French President Emmanuel Macron's plan to include contemporary stained-glass windows in the rebuilt Notre Dame cathedral has sparked criticism from some who argue it could disrupt the historical atmosphere. Macron, however, believes that the addition of modern elements represents the current century and symbolizes France's ability to rebuild. The project will reproduce the spire identically but will feature contemporary designs in some of the cathedral's windows. The Archbishop of Paris supports a more progressive approach to the restoration, while critics argue that it may distort the overall harmony of the iconic landmark.
