Sheesh, what an ugly structure! I don’t think it will attract many Catholics to worship in such a gaudy environment.
The Church should reconsider before wasting its money on that building.
But then again, I am not a Californian Catholic so I do not know what turns them off or on in terms of a place for worship.
actually, from what I read elsewhere, the diocese needs a cathedral but only has early plans to build. They can buy the Crystal Cathedral for half the amount to build a new church.
I was surprised at the low asking price myself, especially in California. So I say they should buy it...
I’ve been in the space to see the Glory of Christmas and it is not ugly. It is quite beautiful.
