[Cicero]

I have to agree with you. I've been to the Cathedral in San Francisco, and it is an atrocity. So is this new Oakland cathedral:

Yet another liberal bishop surrounded by trendy liturgist and trendy advisers, completely without taste, seeking to be remembered as the great founder of a great building.

When the dust settles, he will be remembered as a pig on an ego trip who left a hugely expensive abomination behind him. Maybe with good luck it will collapse in an earthquake (preferably not on Sunday) and the diocese will be able to replace it.

It looks like something out of a sci-fi movie.

I thought Vigneron was a conservative. You mean there's trouble in paradise?

This thing will cost more than the Taj Mahoney before it's finished, you watch. And it looks just as hideous.

Catholics are tired of this extravagance in church buildings. It sounds as if he won't have much of a parish for this Cathedral, as it will be a kluge pulled together of Vietnamese and poor congregations.

Vigneron is NOT a liberal. Your take is about 180 degrees from the truth, which prompts the question: are you a Catholic, a schismatic, or a Prot?

If you're either of the latter two, why are you opening your mouth?

That's a cathedral? It looks more like a nuclear plant.
