The design for the new cathedral is hideous.

The new cathedral in SF and planned one in Oakland could accurately be described as the abomination and the desolation.

Though I must agree with this statement. Architecture isn't what it used to be nowadays.

St. Mary's reminds me of a washing machine agitator.

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.

I found this discussion, although I am not sure if it is the same. It certainly is similar:
