New York Times Thought The ‘Body Of Christ’ Priest Saved From Notre Dame Was A Statue

Blithe Spirit 1 Minute

Fact is, the priest, the fire dept. chaplain, risked life to save relics and the Blessed Sacrament, understood as the Body of Christ, but NY Times, that wonderful newspaper, had him carrying out a statue of Christ from the church — which has no statues, by the way.

Nice going, NYT.
