Interesting that this follows on the heels of the current disputes over the Holy Father and the excommunication of the SSPX Bishops.Yeah, I jump to conclusions.
Let's hope this is merely coincidence.
UPDATE: Live video here.
CHICAGO — The Chicago Fire Department is battling an early morning fire at Holy Name Cathedral, one of the city's landmark churches and the seat of Cardinal Francis George.
Flames could be seen at three points of the building, including on the roof of the church.
Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford says the fire hasn't yet spread from the roof to the church's sanctuary but there's a lot of water inside the building.
Langford says no injuries have been reported as firefighters continue to try to extinguish the blaze on a bitterly cold Chicago morning.
The original Holy Name was destroyed in the Great Chicago Fire and the parish rebuilt, opening the new cathedral in 1875.
Restoration and repair work had recently been completed at Holy Name after engineers found structural weaknesses in the roof.
