is nothing sacred?

I just went inside to Notre Dame. With a bunch of other photo-snapping tourists. While there was Mass going on.

Tell me, what is wrong with that last sentence? Why are they letting people--tourists!!!--into Notre Dame while Mass is happening?!?!? What is wrong with this world. I started taking photos while in the entrance off to the side, but then I heard a man's voice speaking. I headed towards the middle, and I saw a priest getting ready for communion. I swear, my mouth dropped. And I turned around and all these people are snapping photos, pointing at things. Why do they let tourists in during Mass? It's just wrong.

Argh. I got out of there. It was a nice day though, sun came out for a little bit. Took this inside Notre Dame (before I knew there was Mass going on!): Okay, I'm going to go see some millions upon millions of bones that are underneath Paris in the catacombs tomorrow, and I might even be doing this alone. Wish me luck!
