How bad was the fire at Holy Name cathedral?
I saw a blurb on TV at noon, but haven't heard anything since.

1. This is what the Chicago Tribune's architecture critic has to say about it.

I hope that helps.

2. Thank you, m'dear!
It doesn't sound as bad as I'd feared it might be. I absolutely love the cathedral, and was afraid it was going to go the way of its predecessor. Glad to hear that it's 'fixable'.

3. You're welcome.
They say it will take some time to repair, though.
