I read two articles on the same event but from two different new sources. One is from the Global Catholic Network News and the other from Eye Witness News, a channel in Chicago, Illinois. Both of the articles cover the story of a Chicago shrine that burned down October 7, 2015.
I found it interesting to see how the stories differed even though they discussed the same event. The GCN discussed more of the tragic affect the fire had on it's community and didn't focus much on the facts. The discussed more of the history of the building and it's importance to the Catholic church. The EWN channel was very factual and straight to the point. There were a lot more quotes from those involved with the fire and went into greater detail as to how the fire started. However, both articles contain all of these aspects of facts and tragic effects.
These articles reflect modern Catholicism because it demonstrates how important churches are and their history. The church has been around since 1923 and carried a 17th century statue of the Infant of Prague. Catholics make up a large majority of the American population and their religion is seen through out America.
Here are the two links to both of the articles I've read:

Eye Witness News
