In the beginning of the Cathedral scene in Batman (1989) we see the inside of the cathedral. It's a mess which suggests that it's not being used. Why was it displayed in such a mess?

    Restoring century old buildings is expensive. Don't worry, Bruce wayne made a generous donation to help fix the damage from the Batman/Joker fight And then some after the credits rolled.

From the wiki:

The Gotham Cathedral is a monolithic cathedral that stands more than 800 feet from the ground. Once intended to be the spiritual center of the city, the Cathedral has since fallen into ruin as the city itself has fallen into corruption and decay.
