Notre Dame isn't owned by the Archdiocese of Paris (and by extension, the Catholic Church). It is the property of the French government, who rents the building to the church.

Edit: I apologize, as "rent" seems to be a misleading term. The French government grants the Catholic Church the right to use the building for religious purposes in exchange for the church doing the daily upkeep, but the government is still responsible for restoration and preservation. The Church could donate money for repairs if they wish, but they will not be in control of or have any say in, the rebuilding process.

Oh my god if one more uninformed person tells me to donate my money to the Flint water crisis instead of x, y, or z I'm gonna throw something! There are quite literally *DOZENS* of reports saying that Flint has been actually ignoring a lot of the money for whatever reason. BUILDING TAKES TIME.
