France is saying they will rebuild Notre Dame with help from the Intl. community. So the world will help build the biggest Catholic Church?
That would be something in our day and age of separation of church and state. The world could build the most impressive church in the world.

Have they determined who set the fire? Was it George Bush? . . . . . the Windsors? . . . . did the Russians tell Trump to do it?

yes, there are only 3-4 mega=corporations that could pay for it: the funds now is about 2billion, only in France. And Macron says they will finish it in 5 yrs??
France btw owns the Cathedral; but operated by the Catholic church so to speak.
Constructions will be bankrolled by luxury goods corp: e.g.Louise Vuittion, L'Oreal, Dior, Energy conglomerate Total SA. Gucci, St Lawrence etc

Why does the Vatican have the huge underground vaults crammed with gold, silver, gems, art and other valuables and huge investments that amount to more than the entire wealth of America all gained at the expense of the poor and none of it going to any charitable cause to alleviate suffering or even being spent on evangelism – just hoarded!

It is not just a church, it is a unique and beautiful building, a part of human history, and a architectural marvel.
People that just see a church are missing the bigger picture.

Notre Dame has never been the "biggest Catholic Church."
Today it's not even in the top 30.

Also, private charity has nothing to do with separation of church and state. Which isn't really a universal thing, you know?
And the goal is to "restore" the cathedral, not replace it or even enlarge it.

A lot of private donors have already begun pledging contributions. It appears it would be largely a private donation thing, if that continues much. They have a right to choose what they want to restore. If you don't live in France, I think you'd have little need to worry your tax dollars would be involved.
