Notre Dame officials say tycoons who promised millions after the fire haven't paid a cent
"They want to know what exactly their money is being spent on and if they agree to it before they hand it over, and not just to pay employees' salaries."

They didn't get to be billionaires by not keeping tabs on the money flow...

The church is still living in the world with a 'charity mind-set' - give us yer money and we'll spend it how we like to do Gawd's work.

Are you implying that the Creator of the Universe would allow them to be harmed?

That does imply a lack of Faith.

in case stones fall from the ceiling, while the chapel where this was done is deemed secure, the way to reach it was not.

Well, god does not make mistakes, except when nominationg Saul to be King of the Jews... but just in case, one might want to be safer from divine will than normally is the case.

The lack of faith is amply justified. If there is a god, history demonstrates that he will strike anything anywhere anyhow for any reason, or for no discernible reason at all. This is why most churches sport lightning conductors. Those that are not equipped by such man made protective devices are more likely to suffer predictable consequences.
