Restoration vs. Renewal (or Ruin-ovation!)

Five years after being devastated by fire, Notre Dame was recently reopened after a massive renovation project. But can we call this a "restoration" of what once was? And how does this symbolize what we see all over the Church, and even in our own lives as Catholics?

Ultimately in this episode I emphasize the point that God is actively renewing the Church that was ravaged by the "fire" of modernistic and secularistic culture and ideas.
