a general question...who legally owns the cathedral and the ground it rests upon?

the Catholic Church or the Vatican or the City of Paris or some other entity?

Some part of the France government. Not the Roman Catholic Church.

Roman Catholics have a practice of leaving a sanctified piece of communion bread for adoration / viewing on the altar. He's talking about this.

The French Ministry of Culture owns Notre Dame and is responsible for its maintenance. (Source)

It means he ran into a burning building to grab a box of crackers.

The box of crackers, per John 6, IS Jesus Christ...

Yeah, France passed some law a long time ago that made all the churches state property. Though, there are some that are privately owned.

If a fire to an old building dedicated to the Virgin Mary can move the hearts of even the most anti-religious, imagine how efficacious her prayers for us are before the throne of God. "Notre Dame, Ora Pro Nobis"

The mass on Dec. 8th will be a wonderful event for all of France.
