  I know it’s deconsecrated, and it boosts the tourist economy, therefore the billion dollar restoration is in fact a sound financial investment. And that money paid for good craftspeople to do their craft and maintain traditional work methods and I’m all for that.

  I know…

  But it still find it shocking on the face of it.
