As Notre-Dame Cathedral prepares for its reopening, conspiracy theories have emerged once again, claiming the site has been transformed into a Masonic temple. Key claims include supposed Masonic symbols incorporated into the architecture. Experts highlight that such claims often arise during crises and are fueled by narratives aiming to challenge the official version of events. Some theorists view the renovations as an attack on Christianity, while experts debunk the associated symbols as fundamentally Christian rather than Masonic.
