Should We Re-build Notre Dame?

Some say the money given to re-build Notre Dame is being wasted. It should be spent on the climate, or the poor.

God is Truth, Goodness, and Beauty.
We help the poor the best by helping them understand God.
When we build beautiful things, we reflect God's beauty.

It was the poor we donated their treasure and their lives to building Notre Dame, because, poor as they were, they were richer than we are. They understood that they were giving their lives in dedication to reflecting the beauty of God, a gift they gave to the countless generations that followed them.

Sadly, we don't appreciate what the poor have given us, so we would prefer the gift of the poor not be re-built in their honor, in God's honor. We spit on the tuppence that is Notre Dame, the mite of beauty the widow has placed in history's coinbox for us. We instead say, “Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?”

I prefer to honor the poor who died to give us this gift.
I prefer to re-build.

Abortion and Immigrants

Does America have a moral obligation to open its borders and accept immigrants. Do the states have a moral obligation to support the immigrants, legal or illegal?

To answer, let's look at a similar situation. 


After WW II, Germany made amends to the world for the Holocaust in part by opening its borders to Jewish immigrants.
"For decades, Germany has tried to make amends for the murder of more than 6 million Jews by supporting survivors and descendants, at home and around the world, including an unusual program to offer citizenship to nearly any Jew from the former Soviet Union — which has built the Jewish community back to more than 100,000 people."
America has committed a Holocaust against itself, a genocide of much greater size and depravity than anything committed in 1940s Europe. If America hadn't been aborting it's children for the last 50 years, we wouldn't need the immigrants who are currently flooding in. As it is, we do need them, because our own children have been murdered, ground up in Insinkerators or thrown into biohazard bags and tossed into the mass graves we call garbage dumps.

America, you didn't want to pay to raise your own children, so now you are going to pay to help the immigrants who replace the innocents you murdered. Given that we have murdered far more people, we have at least as great a moral obligation to pay for our sins as Germany does.

Absolutely.
America has to make amends.
So, yes, we have to accept the immigrants.
And yes, we have to pay for them.


That's the pro-life position.
